[Asterisk-Users] Systems Admin; Telecom Newbie - What do I need?

[Mojo with Horan & Company, LLC]

For this exact scenario, which I am instituting with Polycom 501s, I 
opted to get the unmanaged switch in each room.  I don't see the problem 
from a net admin's point of view 'cause the only problem that came to 
mind was the fact that hubs/switches can't be too many levels deep or 
the far ends can't reach each other.  I have just one main gigabit 
switch, so the number of hops would never be an issue for me.

Anyway, the reason I'm replying:

<change of attitude after seeing amazon's web page>

I was going to recommend amazon's B0002A9U7M at $33.99 each, but it 
looks like I was the victim of amazon's price fixing.  Searching for the 
item now shows $49.99.  Sorry guys :(

And I just ordered them on the 11th, look:

I can't believe the nerve!

If it is experimentation with customers and not just that they ran out 
of stock at that cost, ask your friends to search for that number on 
amazon and buy low...
