3Com's 10/100 Switching... Wallplate

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-thats-a-cool-idea dept.

An anonymous reader wrote in to say "Tom's hardware has an exclusive review of the new 3Com Network Jack. This is a 4-port 10/100 switch that fits in a standard-sized wallplate." Alright, thats a good idea (he says while accidentally kicking the switch hidden under his desk). Having run more then my share of ethernet drops in the past, I gotta say I dig this idea.

    Can you at least give us a hint? How many digits? What number does it start with?

    Too bad voip is the most pointless and useless technology in existence (ok, I lied. Java takes that honor). Why should I even consider changing my wiring and buying a lot of very expensive switches just so that we can implement a more expensive version of the digital phones that we already have working perfectly? Come on people, give me a reason to buy it instead of just running 2-4 cables to each cube...

    Then all you need to hook up to a LAN is a non-flatscreen monitor. =)
