I don't know if that's good or bad. 3Com has a history of abandoning and re-entering markets (only to be outdone by Intel), and that works against them. Their 5500 series looks pretty nice (gigE + PoE) and has a competitive price point, but I haven't played with any of it. > The sad part is I hate Cisco.

I want to know :) The linksys gigE switches (like the SRW2024) have a menuing interface and a web interface. No layer3 support but they have a pretty complete L2 feature set. Not sure how you feel about buying at that market level. -- Eric A. Hall http://www.ehsco.com/ Internet Core Protocols http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/coreprot/
