Hi folks,

Could someone tell me the difference between and hub and a switching hub?
My understanding is that a switching hub will allow a 100Mbps communication,
regardless if all stations can receive this speed.  Alternatively a plain
(?) hub will  restrict the network to the lowest speed which is connected to
it.

We are going to install a network of 10 stations plus a server on NT and
will upgrade some older computers, but (to go cheap - not my decision)
probably not replace all cards (10Mbps).

Thank you!

Julie Shanks
