Re: [OCLUG-Tech] Looking for a Fast Ethernet HUB

Actually, it's not that exciting.  We're trying to get duplex
negotiation to resolve successfully between two different pieces of
WAN equipment.  Putting a dumb hub in the chain between the two pieces
of equipment is the workaround, but we're short one hub.

Thanks for the suggestion, Stephen.  I think I'll try that at home.
