I have seen this before when connecting Bay Switches (BlackBox) into our
network.  We had a packet loss rate of about 30%.  When we moved to all
Cisco we reduced our loss to about .8% (much better).  I was not able to
resolve why this happened except to hypothesize that the timing signals
between would not synchronize and therefore packet loss occurred.

My suggestion is to go with Cisco throughout.

        Subject:        High collision rate on 2600 ethernet port

        I was curious if anyone else had seen this.
        We have a 2600 with 2 T1's going to other sights.  The
        ethernet port connects it to a Bay 450 10/100 switch.
        Both switch and router ports are set to 10 / half, but
        we're still seeing a collision rate of about 19%  This seems
        pretty high to me.  Anyone have any thoughts?

        Here's the port info...
