[asterisk-users] PoE switch recommendations?

[Michael Graves]

This certainly seems better value than single port POE insertors at $40
each.

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.
