*smirk*

And here I was thinking I got a great deal on $25 Emulex P4000s and $8
DECserver 300s.

Buy whatever you can afford.  Cisco 2511s work well but are pretty
expensive.  I dunno if I'd consider a Portmaster as others have suggested
but they would probably work fine, except for their large size.  You
should be able to score a DECserver 300 or better (not a 100 or a 200 mind
you, as they are LAT only.) on eBay for less than $50.
