 From the diagrams in the Installation and Configuration docs for each 
PA, it seems the PA-2FE-TX has "PA-2FE-TX" on the faceplate and the 
PA-2FEISL-TX has "Fast Ethernet/ISL" on the faceplate.

It seems that PA-2FE-TX/ISL == PA-2FEISL-TX.  There is no difference.  I 
have to look specifically for a PA-2FE-TX.
