------------------------------------------------------------------------ Signature poll: I'm planning on getting a 12 or 16 port autosensing 10/100 ethernet switch soon for home use, and am interested in hearing others recommendations on what to buy. Cost isn't as important as is functionality and quality. Any suggestions appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
