We also use 3com NJ-200's which is a 4 port switch in a wall plate that has SNMP and other goodies. I can troubleshoot down to the wall plate, anywhere in the world. Last year I was on holidays in Vancouver (1000K away from the office) and I got the call that an exec couldn't plug his laptop into the wall, no signal, and he was pissed. I whip out my laptop, walk across the street to Starbucks, got a wifi signal, VPN in, I check it out - nope, it's your stupid laptop, PHB-boy. Turns out he disabled the onboard NIC. That single incident, to me justifies the whole expense of a good infrastructure (and to the PHB too - he was spooked that I could do that) _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
