Switches - Off topic

Pardon the off topic:

I know some others have mentioned using 3Com and we have a SuperStack II
Linkstitch 1000 that will not work on the 100bT port, but it does link.
Also cannot get a full-duplex link. There are a lot of combinations.

Uplinking at 10bT sucks.

Any other recommendations?

Baynetworks BayStack 301 is a 24 port and 2 of them are 10/100; no duplex.
:-(

I heard that Cisco dropped prices, but I looking for a comparable unit and
I expect to a bit, not much, more.

Found that 3Com is useless for help, even if the unit is new out of the box
and you have a simple question.<sigh>

TIA,
