I think the Symmetrics still has an option for 16 ports (it did when I
bought mine, anyway.) You would probably want the 8 megabyte memory
option and that would drive the total cost of the system you are
talking about up over $10,000. I am happy with my system, but have to
warn you not to expect much in the way of support from the Symmetrics
people. They can answer technical questions over the phone quite well,
but you get absolutely NO paper documentation with the system! This
isn't all that bad, since most all you will ever need is online, but
it would have been nice to have received at least a manual of some
sort...
