Any suggestions? I will be glad to summarize for anyone who wants it.

I've heard of people who use a pair of SX gbics (1310nm), and a pair of LX
gbics (1550nm), and a cheap WDM splitter to get two GigE's down one pair
of fiber.

That's exactly the sort of solution I was hoping for. Any suggestions on
cheap WDM splitters?

Thanks,
