Folks,

Looking for a switch or router recommendation.  Haven't had a lot of time 
to think about it yet, but here's what I know:

at least 2 10/100/1000 (note that 10 requirement) copper 
interfaces

4 or so GBIC ports for fiber connections

a reasonable layer 3 feature set would be nice

Small, 1u though I might be able to swing 2u (it's a wall-mount location).

I only need to shove say 50Mb through the box reliably..if we get near 
that I can justify replacing it with something better.


The other criteria:  Cheap! (in the as-far-below-$2000-as-possible range)

If I can't find a layer3 box that'll do the job what layer2 switches would 
fit the bill?


suggestions?

thanks (I just don't know the varying switch options very well..)
