I thought disabling RIP broadcasting on my PM2 might calm it down with
respect to coll % reported...but it hasn't. I hope everyone's
seated...it's reporting 23% colls...while other systems and routers on our
network are saying 3%-7%. I plan to force my boss to order a switch this
week. Is there something wrong with Lantronix switches?...or are they
just trying to take over the market with 8 port switches at <$400?
