...and now for something completly different.... 

In very small situations I've been very happy with this desktop POE switch $69 http://shop1.frys.com/product/4971591

I have not personally tried using FF under Linux with these, though I 
ran across a number of posts that say it doesn't work. I know FF2 and 
the latest FF3 don't work under Mac (don't work for the SRW that is) 
and I know they don't work on Windows. (Linksys' official statement is 
to use that ietab plugin that embeds IE in a firefox tab). I would 
expect FF to behave the same as far as what works and doesn't in all 3 
environments, but maybe not. I'll install FF3 on my Linux server and 
try as that would be more convenient than firing up Parallels 
everytime I need to change a config option in the switch. On Win/Mac 
it lets you log in but the "main menu" screen is blank, nothing to 
click on, just the background template. *shrug* Seeing as we already 
need more than the 8 ports I think I'll stick to the 24/48 port 
versions anyway.
