I guess it was last weekend or so when I posed the question of how to
integrate physical switches and a Dynamips server for IEWB topologies.
Brian Dennis chimed in and suggested using a Mac Mini (w/ 2 BG RAM,
default is only 1 GB, and a 2 GHz Duo Core proc) and a bunch of USB-Eth
converters, which I thought was downright ingenious. So I ordered the
Mini and went out and bought a couple of USB hubs and a mess of
converters. I thought I ordered the switches too, but that's another
story. Anyway, for anyone interested in my experiences thus far, see
this post on the board:

I'm happy to try to answer any questions, with the understanding that I
don't yet have the switches (shooting for Tues now). I do at least have
Dynamips up and running on the Mini, and the above should give a good
feel for performance on this machine.
Regards all,
Scott
