Oops.  I guess I didn't finish that sentence.  You're right.  They say the
switches are too expensive.  But to prevent the problem from happening
again, they confiscated all of our switches.  And since we talk to the
PLCs in our products via Ethernet, that poses a big problem for me, since
I can no longer test multiple systems.

It's the typical management reaction.  Rather than fix the real problem,
they implement some inane policy.
