Packet Engines is pretty good. The founder of Packet developed and shipped the first 10/100 switch and adapters when he had GrandJunction so he has been around a while. GrandJunction was later sold to Cisco and the old GrandJunction products became the Catalyst 2800 series with much of the older product being carried forward into the new 1900 (and similar) series. Also, Extreme makes some pretty good boxes. The Extreme's incorporate IP Switching into most of their units which is nice in some cases and they do a good job of mixing 10/100 and 1000 on the same box. --------------------------------------------------------- Chad Skidmore Director of Network Engineering Northwest Nexus, Inc. http://www.nwnexus.com 1-888-NWNEXUS -----Original Message----- From: Hui-Hui Hu [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, January 13, 1998 6:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: gigabit ethernet bbones worried about my nfs servers and am eyeing foundry networks' gig switches. anyone used such a beast, or played with their GSR?
