David,

There are two that I know of that work and are pretty cool they are from
Shomiti and Network Critical, the links are below:

These are designed more for things like forwarding traffic to IDS than just
pure sniffing, if all you want to do is sniff traffic through a switch I
would suggest that rather than the expense of taps you look at arp spoofing,
some starters for you: ettercap, dsniff, cain combined with ethereal.

Cheers
