Device manger is nice, however the code/hardware isn't, sorry I'm biast, were a nortel shop... :)


Nortel?

3Com aren't too bad. From memory Nortel are actually better at higher
throughput levels.

Nortel has a GUI Device Management system via SNMP which is pretty good.
They also have intuitive HTTP access for most things and the console gives
you a menu or a commandline option.

Look at the Nortel 5510/5520/5530 switches for Gigabit throughput...

Mark.
