A person mentioned "Sytek" networking/multiplexing boxes. I feel the
obligation to say something about these boxes.

I have been underwhelmed by said devices. Although the ability to run
multiple sessions to multiple machines is nifty (and extremely handy,
I might add), the Sytek network has problems when the you start to push
the bandwidth. Instead of everything "slowing down" a tad, you LOSE 
information.

I don't know what causes this: perhaps it's just my little [expensive]
box and not the network itself. I would advise you to consider this,
though.
