SJ, We are using Cisco 3560s. They have everything you are looking for with the exception of stacking (I don't believe they are stackable). I know 3750s are stackable, but more expensive. I know Cisco equipment is pricey, the 3560s were over $5K each, but for me they are worth it. I agree that spending $2K on Netgear stuff seems a bit much, but that still represents the low end of the market for the equipment you are looking for. HP may be a price compromise between the two, but I have no experience with their switching equipment.

All, I'm looking for a stackable 48-port managed switch that supports PoE, IP Precedence, CoS, layer 3, and is 10/100/1000. It's for implementing an internal VOIP setup... I've been pointed to a Netgear unit but I can't imagine spending nearly $2k on something from Netgear... Can someone recommend a suitable switch? Thanks, --SJ
