How much latency are we talking about? I'm looking into gigabit networks at for both home & work and while home isn't so much an issue, work could be as I'm in the planning stages of setting up a gigabit network to allow some iSCSI NAS/SAN devices to back a bunch of VMware servers that we're due to get for our next refresh. -- Drew "Nothing in life is to be feared.
