This is great information. We've been using the 2e's for some time (we
have sshd access through a Linux box that has a separate nic for a private
network to which the 2e's are attached) but Lucent says they're
discontinuing them.

I was looking into the Ciscos that Melinda likes...I also noticed the Digi
Portserver series does anyone have experience with them?
