that's not fair. a catalyst is a switch _and_ a router. the router runs
standard IOS. the router side should respond just like any other cisco. the 
switch software is a little different.

BTW in case anyone's interested...  (this assumes acl's let packets through)

using andrew's cisco-probe patch to nmap I collected the following foo:

cisco catalyst 2900, 2900xl, and 2900xlm all respond to cisco probe
cisco 3600 running 12.0(3) responds
cisco 3600 running 12.0(5) doesn't respond
the 7 or 8 2600's (various os releases) I hit all responded properly
most of the catalyst 5000 series routers I have access to are dropping packets.
  sorry, no info there yet...
