The Cisco AS5200 is an excellent product, performs much better than the
Ascend Max's and has access to any routing protocol (RIP, RIPv2, OSPF,
BGP, IGRP, EIGRP, ISIS).  Runs standard Cisco IOS and is a dream to work
with.  One problem with them is their RADIUS support is kind of poor,
TACACS works well thou and they are continuing to develop RADIUS.
It does both ISDN and Analog when you install modems in it. (Get the
managed modems, not the cheap ones).
