It maybe a bit off topic, but since the solution I am looking for is
for an SBS 2003 customer, I thought I ask.

The SBS customer's 24-port switch died and we are looking for a
replacement. I was looking at the Catalyst 500 series Cisco switches,
but we are thinking Gigabit this time, but there, the price is into
the $3-4 thousand range. It is tempting to go with a 24 port gigabit
managed L2 Dell, Netgear switch, but I don't know how reliable and
roboust they are for a business. Does anyone have any recommendations
or expereince with these brands?
Thanks,

Attila

I've been quite happy with the Dell PowerConnect switches....even the
managed ones aren't that expensive, compared to Cisco.
