Here's some of the network GIG E hardware we'd like to recommend:
AceNIC/NetGear GA620(T)/3C985B
SysKonnect
NS chipset:
Cameo SOHO-GA2000T SOHO-GA2500T
D-Link DGE-500T
PureData PDP8023Z-TG
SMC SMC9462TX
NetGear GA622
=============================================================
For switches you might want to also look into top lines like HP, 3Com and
Cisco...because they offer government, educational, and medical
discounts(GEM). There discounts are very agressive. Cisco will also take
trade-ins on old equipment.
