Thank you to everyone who emailed with suggestions for a switch for my LAN upgrade to GigE. The issue is a little more complicated. We have 3 main switches on the "base" network. They are all 24 ports, not small 8 ports. The van and both encoder roadcases all have 24 port switches in them and we use the 24 ports. Plus there are switches for "client use" (48 ports each). So I'm probably looking for 6 to 8, 24 port switches with SFPs - and VLANs would be nice. We use multiple internet links (sometimes as many as 4+) We build the different networks via VLANS or sometimes separate physical networks. And of course we use a VoIP pabx with lines in AKL, WLG and CHC. The van has its own lines (2), and we have a portable VoIP pabx for event use. When we need "more power", we connect the van to the office network, both for uplink lines and encoders and for clearing the van-resident disks. The neighbours are sort of used to seeing the van all lit up at night. Satellite dishes sprout and disappear as required. http://www.r2.co.nz/20080404/photos/ I hope this explains why things are a little more complicated. We drink beer to stay sane (and on topic)
