You don't mention if you need gigabit speeds on all ports, so I'll assume you don't.
The HP ProCurve 2524 (or 2512 if you really only want 12 ports, but the price difference is minimal) is a very nice and stable switch. We have about 95-100 2524 switches on the access level here, and I am yet to experience a fault that originated in the actual switch. It has 24 (or 12) 10/100 ports and two module slots for gigabit links. It's manageable via serial console, telnet, web or snmp (and rmon too, I think) and has all the bells and whistles you expect from a manageble switch (plenty of monitoring, spanning tree, vlan support, etc..)
They're rather cheap nowadays, over here they go for 3500 SEK (approx. $450) .. It's one of HP's big sellers, so they have dropped quite a lot in price lately.

I'm looking at replacing my el'cheapo switch with something better that
will allow me to fix my issues with the em/full-duplex problem ...
I'm looking for ssomething managed, as well as SNMP aware so that I can
tie it into Zabbix for monitoring ... something 8 or 12 port preferred.
Cisco, of course, is always a big name ... but also expensive ... oen recommendation is the xl 1900, but I can't find any specs on her at cisco's site, so discontinued product?
What about Netgear, which I have easy access to? Or Alcatel?
models to stay away from?
Thanks ...
