We've got a 3Com Superstack II switch going right now with no problems. 24 switched 10mbit ports and one 100mbit port, with optional downlink modules for stacking more superstack components.
Check out the specs on 3com's Superstack system at www.3com.com

Subject: 10Mb/100Mb switches
Hi,
Sofar we've been able to mange everything on Thinnet and simple UTP/10Mb.
BUT the days have come that certain parts of the network could do with
either 10Mb or 100Mb switched. Now one more problem is that we're a
FreeBSD (and Win'95 for personal use) only shop.
So I have two decissions to make: (or are there more open ends?)
1) What brand of switches should I use?
1a) Which switches should I avoid?
2) Do I need a SNMP managment system (other than the FreeBSD-CMU stuff)
2a) What packages would you advice?
Thanx,
Willem Jan Withagen
