We are about to buy a data PBX system that will serve as
a main data switch for this building.  It will switch 
about 650 connections between 14 3B2/600 computers.  
Total number of ports on the switch, as specified, will be
1100.

I would like to hear from netters that have experience with
Gandalf and Equanox switches.  What kind of problems should
I expect, what are some of the good/bad experiences you have
had with the switch?

For those who would like to save some net-cash and mail me
responces rather then post them, I will post a summary in a few
weeks.
