I'd add Alcatel to that list.

I've been tasked with making a recommendation for the core and access
equipment for a small metro-ethernet network. We're probably talking at max
200-300 subs split between two termination points. Most customers will
probably be at speeds of 100M or less. We'd like the backbone to be 10G and
be MPLS capable. That being said some of the companies we've been looking at
are
Cisco
Extreme
Brocade
Adtran
Occam
Zhone
We're looking to build the network in a cost effective manner so we're not
opposed to doing using aftermarket or refurbished equipment but we don't
want to start off with equipment that has no future of expanding.
Any suggestions, success or horror stories are appreciated. ;)
