Unless you need the extended protocols I'd recomend the Livingston IRX routers or even the Livingston OR-HS (high speed office router). We use the OR-HS on our 56K and hear they work great on T1s too. There is always the option of a router card such as the Emerging technologies 5025 series cards. VERY fast, cheap, and work well in FreeBSD systems. Check their page out at www.etinc.com. Good luck, we're fixing to do the T1 changeover ourselves and I'm looking forward to it... Its always fun to watch the telco run around like insects... JS
