You don't want Bay and you certainly don't want 3Com. If your network is fairly slow (ethernets and T1s only) you can use PCs running a reasonable BSD and GateD. Otherwise, the only commercial choice is Cisco.
Perry, may I ask why you exclude Bay and 3Com? Any particular bad experience from the previous life? And Rob, it you're building a backbone I'd add Ascend's GRF to the list. -- Gregory Mirsky Bay Networks, Inc.
