Who suggested Cisco and Bay Network, and DEC's VN switch series as
possible alternatives to the DEC Gigaswitch. Well, checking those
prices out, I find that to build up something big enough to put each of
our systems on a port, they would all end up at around the same prices.
The good news is that they can all handle fast Ethernet, ATM, or
whatever comes up in the future just by getting the appropriate line
cards. So I'll be doing a bit of cost/feature/performance trade off
analysis.
thanks again.
