-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Well, to kinda wrap things up a bit, I went off and bought a four port router locally and got things going yesterday and one of my first tests yielded a 360+KBPS download from ftp.kernel.org! I have never seen that high a speed here at my house ever. I also found out my hub wouldn't work with my router for some strange reason so am eliminating that old 486 so I can be down to four computers hooked directly to that router. Thanks for the quick education on hubs vs switches. Oh, anyone wanna buy an eight port hub?:):) - -- HolmesGrown Solutions The best solutions for the best price! http://ld.net/?holmesgrown -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFA1JOSWSjv55S0LfERAq1SAJ9DG6xasZbHkbg9JVnqPTY8d4IGBACg7M1x Dn3whKwVVNeEjAyeZBw7/ls= =zWe/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
