They usually go on ebay for around $2200 - $2300. Or at least that's
what I've found. Nortel Networks makes a competing product called the
Alteon AD3 and it goes for even cheaper on ebay.

Can you please give me information on where these are available.
At that price I'd like to get some for testing / making sure LVS
is better.
