We've been using Cisco equipment since 1990 or so, and have used HP
equipment off and on for the last then years or so. We're currently
happiest with Cisco's 3560G series, so you might take a look at them and
see if they're what you're looking for. HPs have always seemed a bit
difficult to manage, by comparison, though sometimes a little cheaper.
