I would recommend something in the 2600 series as opposed to 2500. The 2500
are fixed and the 2600 are modular allowing for growth, ISDN backup
interfaces etc. Also, the 2500 run from flash meaning anytime you want to
upgrade the IOS the router has to come down. 2600's run form memory allowing
you to install a new IOS while the router is running and reload at your
convenience. Not to mention the fact that Cisco is not manufacturing 2500's
and the ones that are being sold our stock items from Cisco and various
other distributers.

Most 25xx routers have 2 serial ports, which may not be enough for you.
2509-RJ and 2511-RJ have only 1, so you can't use them no matter what.
2520-2523 routers may be best, as they have 4 (2520-2521) or 10
(2522-2523), provided you can live with some of those being low-speed.
