They are Catalyst switches, support 10/100 ethernet.
One is a Catalyst 2900 series (Grahame says it is infact not a 2912). It
can speak ISL vlans. The other is a Catalyst 2924XL it speaks 802.1Q and
ISL. I _think_ it can map between the two, allowing us to run a .1Q
trunk into the router from the 2924 and have it fed as an ISL trunk to
the 2900.

AFAIK they both run IOS (rather then CatOS) although I don't know what
version.

Ideally at some point, we want to get another Catalyst, probably a 2950
with GigE module that we can connect to the router over a gig trunk.
Then run bonded 200 (or whatever) trunks to the other two switches. But
that is something for the future.
