Even better, when you can find 'em, are the 2511-RJ models, which  
have 16 RJ45 jacks instead of the high-density SCSI-like connectors  
for those (R.P.I.T.A, expensive, failure-prone) "octopus" cables on  
the 2509/-11 and NM-32A.  Sure wish they'd build an NM-16A-RJ.

We loved those old 2511-RJ boxes in the lab.  But you will need Cisco  
console "rollover" cables, not straight-through.
