Gah let's try this again...

Stoned koalas drooled eucalyptus spit in awe as Dave McGuire exclaimed:

Yeah, dummy me..I meant 100BaseTX.

I've been looking at the 5000s for quite a while and they are getting to be 
a bargain. Still a little too steep for my budget right now though.  I 
guess they're coming down in price because AFAIK you can't do 1000BaseFX 
with them.  However you *can* do 622Mbps OC12 with them if you have the 
right supervisor module, then you get to tell all your friends that you 
have an OC12 at home. ;)
