Perry, may I ask why you exclude Bay and 3Com? Any particular bad experience from the previous life?
I've only actually had bad experience with Bay stuff -- 3Com isn't even in the running for the most part -- the software doesn't even pretend to be able to do the job for a backbone.
And Rob, it you're building a backbone I'd add Ascend's GRF to the list.
Actually, I rather like the architecture of the GRF, though I must admit to have never tried one out. I've heard some good things and they might be worth a test or two.

Well, the GRF has its good and bad points. I've tested one rather extensively, although I admit it was some time (~8-9 months) ago. -- -- Karl Denninger (karl@MCS.Net)| MCSNet - Serving Chicagoland and Wisconsin http://www.mcs.net/ | T1's from $600 monthly / All Lines K56Flex/DOV | NEW!
