217504 2004-02-22 19:25:00 We currently have a switch running a three computer network and am looking at running xtra jetstream. I am wanting to get a router to plug into the phone line then run a network cable to a spare port on the switch. Will this work or do I need other hardware? Jackiex (4951)

(dont forget you will need to buy line filters.)

Just need to make sure you have the right cable between router and the switch. Pretty sure you will need a cross-over cable.
