HP's site is chock-full of info. Here's their 3com/HP comparison page:
http://www.hp.com/rnd/products/3com_hp_prodcomp.htm
For comparison, their 4000M ProCurve (which they claim is equivalent to a
3com SuperStack II 3300) and is one of their low-end models is at:
http://www.hp.com/rnd/products/3com_hp_tables.htm#4000
(this page also contains details on their top-end switch, which has
128Gbps of mesh bandwidth!! that 19Gbps figure was for >1 year ago..)
The 4000M has 40-80 ports, 3.8Gbps of total bandwidth, $6,395 for a
72-port solution. That comes up to $88/port and 52Mbps/port, so it's not
an enterprise switch by any stretch of the imagination but good enough for
most Fast Ethernet applications.
You can find complete documentation on the 4000M switch at
http://www.hp.com/rnd/products/switches/switches_pc4000m/
ds_switches_pc4000m.htm
I haven't looked at the PDF documents at the bottom of the page (I suspect
it contains all the information you need/want) because I don't have a PDF
reader on this PC.
