A couple consulting gigs I did had 3Com stuff since it was cheap and they
got educational deals. They were consulting me to put in Cisco gear ;-) This
was admittedly 3-4 years ago.
I've never met anyone who has told me positive stories about 3Com equipment,
but I suppose I'm biased also from the horror stories.
