I've been looking at the Linksys SRW224P, since I've had good luck with the SRW224 in our office.  However, Nortel, Cisco, Adtran, etc. all have an offering, all of which vary in price.  I would appreciate any input people have to offer.

James, 24 ports PoE on a Linksys switch occupied with Polycom IP
501's, no problem. The Polycom's use approx. 4W, so the 7.5W per port
(if you use more then 12) is no problem at all.  Agreed, a more
expensive switch (Cisco,HP,Alcatel) might be better, but the Linksys
is worth the money!
