Not exactly on the FreeBSD thread but check into Cisco's tradeup program... or better yet, have your cisco var work out a deal for your older stuff and go for the 7200 up front - save money in the long run if you can convince your controller to release the cash up front.

Why do you suggest going with the 3640? I'm just going for opinions from all angles. The main reason I am shying away from buying a 3640 is because in the 3rd or 4th quarter, we will be getting a 7200 series router, and the 3640 would just be sitting in the closest next to the 2501 and the 2610. Thanks for your advice.
