Does your switch support "trunking" (this is the SMC documentation's term, I'm not sure if it's used by other manufacturers). With some SMC switches at least, you can designate two or four ports to be a "trunk", connected either to another switch, or to a multiport NIC. That would give you an 800Mb/s full duplex pipe between your server and the switch. The kiddies could have some fun trying to saturate that!
I think it does (I also think it's an SMC switch), I'll read the manual next time I go into the school. Cheers -- Phil Driscoll
