Yep.  Not bad little switches.  Gonna get me one when I get to OH and start
setting up all the systems - my 3Com switch seems to have truly bitten the
dust.  Funny thing about that POS, it pukes and goes down hard, but if you
leave it off for a week or so it'll power on and work fine for a couple
months
- then puke again  for no apparent reason.  This time it never came back
from
the pukage...
