True, it is difficult to list vendors when they sell hubs which are
actually "switches". I've run into scenarios where we think its a hub
and find out otherwise after starting captures. It is however
important to note that when in the market, do look for anything that
says "full-duplex" and stay away from it. hubs aren't supposed to be
full-duplex. Best places to shop would be ebay... (or vendors who let
you read the real tech-spec)
