I'm afraid not -- my interest in the part was theoretical, so once I
knew it existed, I was done. It would be really if someone could do a
survey of the current switch marketplace; back in the 100 mbit days,
someone would do one about every 6 months and post the results.

Where's John Eshleman when we need him?
