We'd like to be able to capture and analyze from all the common media: 10Base2/BNC, 10BaseT/UTP, 100BaseTX, 100BaseFX, 1000BaseTX (copper, SX, LX). Cost is not much of a concern (your U.S. tax dollars hard at work!) as capabilities and features. I was pointed at the Agilent J6800A series by someone here at work: http://we.home.agilent.com/cgi-bin/bvpub/agilent/Product/cp_Product.jsp?NAV_ID=-536889703.536882693.00&LANGUAGE_CODE=eng&COUNTRY_CODE=ZZ Any other recommendations?
