Hi Ken,

I am rather impressed with Zyxel ES2024PWR,  I've used at least 40 of
these this year and not had any problems. I also can't recommend Zyxel's
support enough, I had initial concerns about the PoE budget and within a
couple of rings, I was through to someone who actually knew the product
inside out.

Kind Regards,
