Say no more.

Not that I have any experience at all with an "OC12 GigE media converter",
I certainly wouldn't trust anything made by netgear.

I refuse to buy anything made by netgear, after having had three different
products not have basic functionality (like the ability to turn of NAT,
for instance, or the ability to go back out to the internet when
connected via VPN).

And after having talked to their support department, you could not PAY me
to sell YOU a netgear product, under ANY circumstances. You want netgear,
you're not buying it from us (and we'll sell just about anything to
just about anybody).

Perhaps a product made by a company that makes the slightest effort to put
out a quality product would serve you better.
