[Asterisk-Users] cheap gig switch? smc, netgear, or 3com?

[Matt Hess]

Remember, you pay for what you get.. especially with Dell networking 
equipment. I have heard about several groups who tried the dell switches 
only to give up on them because the dell switches just didn't perform. 
Yes, price-wise they look good.. but as far as performance goes.. (that 
is assuming you want high/solid performance) I'd look elsewhere.
