The guy we got today was very smart, told us what we needed to know (in about 1/2 an hour. That included the time to explain to him what we wanted to do). We got the switch configured, without a problem, and now it is all good.<br><br>Thanks for the help!<br><div> </div><span style="font-family:comic sans ms;">Richard Hubbard </span><br>ATTO Technology Inc<div><br></div><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Original Message ----<br>From: Richard Hubbard <rhubby@yahoo.com><br>To: nflug@nflug.org<br>Sent:
