We were supposed to get one of these beasts for evaluation in October.  As I
understand it 3com has held up on its release pending the outcome of one of
the standards group.  I hear they do not wish to release something and have
a different technology be declared the standard for ethernet on twisted-pair.
We are supposed to get it soon.  (This week I hope.)
