I think ComNet is a fine race-to-the-bottom player due their selling (yawn) vanilla industrial switches with an unimpressive set of managed switch features. Not obviously secure stuff either. ComNet is one of those "com-who?" vendors you find when the integrator came up with some off-base answer to a request to install a decent industrial/managed switch.
