Well, check this out: 4 x ET/5025PQ-4-25-V.35 (4 T1 Capable Ports) @ $1995. = $7980. Basic Pentium box with 64MB RAM, 1GB SCSI, PCI ether < $2000 So a 16-T1-port router for under 10 grand. I doubt anyhing from cisco, Ascend, Livingston, et. al. can beat that. To get that level of density on a cisco you would need at least a 7000 (I think). pbd -- You can make it illegal, but you can't make it unpopular.
