[K12OSN] Recommendation Needed

["Terrell Prudé Jr."]

The only caveat I can think of with the $95 unit is whether or not Pete
needs something that can do VLANs.  In my environment, VLAN support is
critical because of how we've structured our networks.  If you need
something on the cheap that does this, I would also recommend a BayStack
450-24T with a Gig-E interface; I've used these with great success. 
Just have a look on eBay.
