Rik,
I think I can help you a bit here as I have a
Cat5000 w/ a WS-X5155 and a Sup I (5009 copper)
connected to an 8 port MMF LS100 in my lab, so it does
work just fine. If you have not purchased them yet,
make sure you get newer Sup 1's (there is a
difference) as the older boards use a custom (ie -high
bucks) Cisco SIMM. Or just make sure whatever Sup 1
you purchase has 20 meg on it (so you can run the
latest 4.5 code). You cannot run 5.x code on a sup 1,
so keep that in mind. Lastly, the dual PHY port ATM
LANE blade (like a WS-X5158) can't use both ports at
the same time (one is for redundancy), so save a few
$$$ and get a single port one. Lastly, you will need
an ATM router to do inter ELAN routing, and this will
get expensive quickly. Ah, the things we do for a
CCIE.
It is Saturday night and I might have missed
something, but I am sure someone will correct me if I
did.
