For example:<br> 5 ports:<br> <a href="http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0257750" target="_blank">http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0257750</a><br> 8 ports:<br> <a href="http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0294506" target="_blank">http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0294506</a><br> 16 ports:<br> <a href="http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0282106" target="_blank">http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0282106</a><br> <br> (The Microcenter in Cambridge happens to be my usual place to buy this<br> sort of electronics.)<br> <br> All you should need is a switch like that, and one standard ethernet cable<br> for each computer. If you have a very large number of machines, you can<br> start connecting multiple switches together, but this sounds unlikely to<br> be necessary for your purposes.<br> <br> --Ben<br> <br> <br></div></div><div>_______________________________________________<br> Sugar-devel mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org" target="_blank">Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org</a><br> <a href="http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel" target="_blank">http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel</a><br> <br></div></blockquote></div><br> <br>_______________________________________________<br> Sugar-devel mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org" target="_blank">Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org</a><br> <a href="http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel" target="_blank">http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel</a><br> <br></blockquote></div></div></div><br><br clear="all"><div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>-- <br>Dave Bauer<br><a href="mailto:dave@solutiongrove.com" target="_blank">dave@solutiongrove.com</a><br><a href="http://www.solutiongrove.com" target="_blank">http://www.solutiongrove.com</a><br> <br><br> </div></div></blockquote></div><br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Caroline Meeks<br>Solution Grove<br>Caroline@SolutionGrove.com<br><br>617-500-3488 - Office<br>505-213-3268 - Fax<br> </div>
