The 3Com Saga

I have never used their routers, but 3Com's switches have always been of great quality. We used to use them exclusively at the college I work at, but we have been phasing them out in favor of Extreme Networks equipment over the last 3 years. Why did we dump 3Com? Because of the core switches. 3Com killed support for the models that we and every other college in the state had, and did not offer the options that Extreme and Cisco offered in their products. Several of the colleges actually needed the expandability a Black Diamond offers. 3Com just did not have the products to do the job for all of us.
Pretty much the same story here in MS. State Police and Local cops can use radar, but the county police can't, with the exception of Lowndes. Somehow they are able to run radar. For the past few years some of the larger counties have tried to lobby to get the state to allow them to run radar, but so far (thankfully) it has been unsuccessful.
