We used a Procurve switch at work to separate VoIP (tagged) and regular traffic (tagged/untagged) and not once did we have any issues. I was so impressed that I have since purchased used ones on eBay for my home as well. I was extremely surprised when I called for support on one of them and reached a competent person who didn't care where I got the switch from, how old it was, etc. I can't say enough positive things about the Procurve line. You get just as good of a product as you do with Cisco, but without the astronomical cost.
There's a reason they put a Procurve in the International Space Station. -- Andy On Mon, 16 Feb 2009 10:31:08 -0500, "Steven J.
