Re: [seul-edu] Truckload of Bay Networks equipment up for grabs

So they are $350 bucks a pop? Also, are the ethernet ports only 10Bt. If
so, these go on ebay for about $100-200. If they are 100Mbit, thats
awesome then. BTW, what do these things weigh approximately, to get an
idea of shipping cost (also, pickup zipcode). Thanks
