[TriLUG] Improvements for my church's network

[James Jones via TriLUG]

Brian, Thomas, and all,

So link aggregation has no use for a single pipe user?

Can it be used between a cpu with dual nics to a router that has
multiple lan connections that feeds on a single wan connection?

Again -- any advice that will help a new managed switch user or
documents that gives details on LAG, QOS, etc... would be helpful.
