My own cheapie solution is to use old FDDI PA's to make "stacking cables".
It's not exactly ideal, but if you have 7200's that are feeding lots of
low-bandwidth circuits like T1s and DSLs it can work pretty well and it's
easy on the budget. I've seen the PA-FDDI's going for about $10-20 from
some of the used dealers since no one really wants to buy them any longer.
