[Dshield] The demise of the hub

Its about 10 x the price of a hub :-( . But I agree that they got some
nice low end taps.

Has anybody played with home made taps ? They are simple to make for
10/100.

The main problem I have with tabs (aside form the price) is that you
need two network cards. Frequently I find myself off-site with a laptop
and only one network card. So you need to carry a second network
card/switch or get a more expensive tab.
