With the LMS8-A-01 wholesale at about $375, there's no way I'll talk my
boss into blowing $2k on a similarly sized switch just for extra bells and
whistles. Assuming the switch does as much for our ethernet as I expect,
we'll probably eventually get a nicer/bigger one (managed) for the
backbone and move the unmanaged one elsewhere...I suspect you can never
have too many switches :)

I just setup a Cyclades PathRouter for a new customer. It sells
(promotional ISP price) with a BAT CSU/DSU for just about $1k.
