I have no knowledge of the 3Com XRNs and this may not be objective, but after what 3Com did to many Enterprises a few years back when they bailed on thier Enterprise line, I wouldn't go near a 3Com switch again. The company I was with at the time made a technology review decision to go with Cisco (3Com was the runner up), and within less than 2 months 3Com had given up entirely on the Enterprise market. If we had decided the other way, we would have been in the same predicament that many others found themselves in. Turns out we made the right decision, but they left to many companies hanging in my opinion. Good Luck.
