    If you want to replace hubs with switches, you're going to need to
    replace EVERY ONE! I don't know how many that is for you.

    If it's only POP3 & HTML passwords you're worried about, why not switch
    your mail server to a secure auth protocol. I think APOP does this (not
    sure) and use HTTPS on any web pages that have passwords?
