Bring em all and patch cables. Looks like we might acheive the 16 boxes.

Do you want a test disk for them - you know how some CD-ROMs are with
some burnt disks.

I am going to test the current IPCop box as our internet connection/
master as it currently is the only box that has 2 NIC's. I am not sure
if i can reconfigure to use an external box as the gateway, plus that
would drop us to fifteen boxes max.

Our sixteen box limit is based on the switch. Could we daisychain? I
have an additional eight way switch?
