Yes, I too support this conclusion. Something wonky is up with the crappy
48-port linksys/dell switch in the closet.
We have another 24-port GigE switch (an upgrade from 100 Mbit fanout
ports), but it's only half the ports.

I'm going to try and stop by and see what's going on with that switch, but
I suspect that we may need to make some replacement.
