I don't know what the big deal is.  I've rolled at least 20 of these
switches into my network, and not only are they more stable than the
Centillion switches that they replaced, they only cost half as much.
Most of the money I dropped was on converting my stations from token
ring to ethernet.

All of the people that responded to this thread are not complaining
about the hardware.
They are complaining about Guillaume's spam strategy.

Other than that are you comparing apples to apples when you compare
Nortel ATM switches (with EOL somewhere in 2004) with new ethernet
hardware?
