So using a monitor port is actually a possibility for this user. If you can get them to clarify, and I guessed wrong, then I can possibly have another stab at it, but the HP 4104GL is layer 2 so the filtering capabilities are limited. Not a bad switch, for the price, but not very feature rich.

He was a close friend of Edison Carter, and pirated the education tv channels so the poor kids could have some schooling as everything was delivered and run by the TV companies.

Just wanted to say that I appreciate both of your responses and input. p.s. BlankReg - love your avatar. Is that a punk rocker I should recognize or is that you? :-) Yeah, that’s the unfortunate part of a “submitted question” — sometimes difficult to interpret exactly what is being asked.
