D'oh, was thinking the 2750. The 2350 looks nice, but no mention of ipv6 support 
at all, and the 12.2.46EY IOS in feature navigator seems pretty sparse as well. 
Does anyone have any 2350's and can comment?

Will have a look, was hoping for a one-to-one replacement of 2950/2960's though. Cisco 
was all set to sell me on 4948's even though I mentioned ipv6 support as a requirement, so
not feeling too happy about that. :)

Thanks, appreciate it! Will check it out.
