Hi all,
Black Box makes some repeaters. They may be contacted at
www.blackbox.com.
Some models include the CG1001E08, the LE2650 and the LH400A. I don't
have time to ask BlackBox and see whether they actually are repeaters of
if they have any internal switching capabilities in them, but given
their specs in the catalogs, I am thinking they are plain ol' repeaters.
BlackBox has provided me with some pretty decent tech support in the
past at 724-746-5500, but times change and I haven't used them in a
while.
Jose.

agreed, old style 'dumb' hubs are becoming pretty scarce.
I've not had any real problems with auto-sensining issues the
others were talking about, just that new 'hubs' are actually
simple unmanaged switches in disguise- which makes network
sniffing a bitch.
I don't think new hubs will be much use for network sniffing
anymore, I'd recommend paying a visit to your IT department
(or linux hobbyist)- ask them if they have any older 10/100
hubs laying around. Its worked for me several times...
