The person I talked to told me explicitly that they were hub cards. Looking at the product picture I would have to agree -- there is only 1 ethernet chip on the card. The fact the 10bt one is half duplex only would also lead to that conclusion. > They do have a card with a switch. Its a different part number, #509961. It explicitly states its switched. The photo for #504034 (4 port 10/100 hub) and #509961 (4 port 10/100 switch) are exactly the same so its hard to say exactly what components are on each. Both the 4 port 10/100bt hub and the 4 port 10bt hub are listed as "SOHO use" would lead one to believe the 10/100bt one is a *hub*. The product listing for the 10/100 switch is very different. In any case download http://www.icintracom.com/pdf/cat5.pdf and have a look at page 5. The sales rep I talked to did say that they were some other vendors cards (anyone know who?) relabeled as ic intracom's "intellinet" product line. -Dan
