We made the decision two years ago to use Cabletron Hubs and Cisco Routers.
We have been pleased with performance, support (excellent), and with
repair. With regard to repair, we did not place our hubs under a repair
contract with Cabletron and discovered, pleasantly, that the cost top
repair one usin was not unreasonable.
