Anyway, if you want to have a great router, cheap, and still solve your bandwidth requirements (if you are not Too big).... 1) find a provider that sells "clocked down" T3. This is when they run a T3 to your location but set the CSUs on both ends to a fractional rate. This effectively allows you to upgrade in (typically) 2 Meg increments, depending on the service that they provide. CRL is one of the providers, I believe, that offers this. 2) Use FreeBSD with our PCI board and you'll be set up to (at least) 10Mbs, probably 12 or 14. You'll also need a Fractional T3 CSU with a V.35 port, Digital Link makes one...probably others also. So for Under $4000 you have a fast router with up to 12Mb/s of backbone bandwidth..... Dennis
