Could anyone recommend a reasonable quality 8 port hub? This is for a
home network and I need something that can handle 100Mbps.  I'll be
using mainly Intel 10/100 cards and occasionally some older 3C509s.

The OS's are: Linux, FreeBSD and sometimes Win95.

Simply do an Intel InBusiness 8xRJ45 100Base-T for ukp114 which sounds
good, but presumably because of the mixture of NICs I need the ukp149
autosensing version, is this correct?

Most other makes of hub seem much more expensive, are the Intels worth
buying?

Many thanks, Pete.
