Hmm.  What you guys describe doesn't sound like what I've got.  Mine is
the PR-100.  You might have better luck searching for it under the
manufacturer "MacSense" rather than XSense.  They seem to be evil twins,
or two different names for the same thing.

Anyway, my PalmRouter is a fairly straightforward 4-port device, with an
extra "uplink" port so you could ostensibly daisy-chain several of them
together (although you apparently would have had to buy them all on that
one day at Micro Center, since they seem extinct now).
