This is probably more detailed than anyone really cares, but since I jumped in, and since I have their Oct 96 catalog here... I meant to say 68000 family, but you're right; the 2501 is a 20Mhz 030, and the 4000M is a 40Mhz 030. The Access Pro is a 20Mhz 030. I'm pretty sure I was wrong about the 2501 not doing fast switching: I think it's cheaper because it's not modular. You buy the router with the interfaces you need and that's that. The 4000 series has 3 bays you can configure at will (for a price).
