We're at capacity port-wise (16 of those are just used for trunking). We don't have any bandwidth issues in-house--I don't think I need Gigabit. There's a single T1 to the outside world, but that'll stay on the other side of the firewall. Anyone have recommendations on 100 ports, either in one unit or 2 x 50 or...?

I seem to recall they were the first "affordable" 100mbit switch, when affordable meant around $4,000. We learned to call them packet shredders. Now we have a couple of really big Cisco backbone routers and a dozen or so Intel switches.

Unless I missed it, I don't think that they had Barbie in mind as one of the 4 horsemen.
