Why do people buy any other brand-name over another?  That's simply not the
point here.  I am trying to sell my 3com hub, which does exactly what it was
intended to do.  I'm asking for a fair price based on what this model is
worth.

If all you want to do is have more than 1 computer on the network, it
doesn't help you to have a switch or 100 mbits (the two qualities you
referred to in the original reply).  If you will have more traffic between
the computers on the hub, then it may be worth-while to purchase a 100mbit
hub/switch.  The campus network is still max 10mbit at your end, and maybe
some of us only have 10mbit NICs or cat-3 cables or whatever else reason for
not being able to use 100mbit.

Anyway, the hub is still FOR SALE -- $30.

Thanks,
Tae, tae.song@resnet.gatech.edu
