Two questions:
==============
1) What is the simplest Cisco switch I can get to do Port-Channel config and test with a 3rd party switch (Extreme Switch) at remote end. -
CAT 2950 or 3550 or 3750 and exact WS- number please?
2) I cannot find one example of Port-Channel config on Cisco site where the ports in the group are all just access ports only. I don't need trunking at all. I need to put say 2 access ports in one Port-Channel.
So will this work?
Interface Port-Channel1
switch port mode access
no shut
Interface Fastethernt0/1
switch port mode acess
channel-group 1
no shut
!
Interface Fastethernt0/2
switch port mode acess
channel-group 1
no shut
Will above config just put Interfaces Fastethernet0/1 and Fastethernet0/2 into channel-group 1 and carry only VLAN1 which is the default VLAN with no tagging at all.

WS-C2950, WS-C2960, WS-C2970, WS-C2975, WS-C3550, WS-C3560, WS-C3750 series family of switches.

Have a look at the configuration example:

I have borrowed a WS-C3560-24PS and done the following in order to be able to connect to 3rd party switch running LACP.
I want to carry only VLAN 1 sata across Fastethernet0/20 and Fastethernet0/21.
I don't want any trinking.
Hope this should work:
interface Port-channel10
switchport mode access
switch port access vlan 1
no shut
!
!
interface FastEthernet0/20
switchport mode access
switch port access vlan 1
channel-group 10 mode active
no shut
!
!
interface FastEthernet0/21
switchport mode access
switch port access vlan 1
channel-group 10 mode active
no shut
!

Check out this link, it is for the 6500, but should cover most IOS based swithces.
Because you are connecting to a non-Cisco switch you have to use LACP for the channel protocol. This is because PAgP, which is Cisco Native, is a Cisco Protocol.
