Hi Antony

This is dangerously OT, but what's the difference? I always thought that 
the difference between a switch and a hub was simply a matter of 
internal plumbing that affected how the pipes were connected and had no 
effect on the actual tcp/ip connections. I've used them interchangeably 
and haven't seen a difference. Maybe someone has a link that could 
educate me more better! :-)
