The following is a short-list of 24-port gigabit switches, sorted by price (low to high) from $370 to $590 (street price).
Looking for comments/recomendations. This is for a small Windoze network connected to the I-net behind a SpeedStream modem/nat-router. PC's on the network will be a mix of 98/2K/NT. Netbeiu is main (or only) file-sharing protocal. TCP will (naturally) be used (mainly for direct internet access by individual PC's). Only major file-sharing app will be AccPac (Pervasive SQL).
