I'm curious as to why you would have router redundancy and not circuit redundancy. My experience has been that the majority of downtime is WAN related not router related. Wouldn't it be cheaper to order another T1 to terminate on Router B and run HSRP? Having 2 routers is nice but doesn't seem to account for where the majority of the outages occur. Of course, if you do get a second T1, you'd want to be sure to request that the provider terminate that on different telco outside plant facilities if at all possible.

[7:4746] Actually what I am looking for is a serial a/b switch that will move the serial connection (v.35) from router A to router B when it detects that the router is down. The scenario would be lets say a frame relay T1 circuit goes into lets say a 2620(Rtr A) . If that router goes down i'm pretty much s.o.l. Now I can run HSRP between two 2620 (Rtr A & B) and track the interface but my circuit is still physically plugged into Rtr A. I have found two solutions one pricier than the other. One is from ADC it is their IPXpert switch (stele.adc.com/Products/DSXPERT/ipx/) which will do what I want for about 15-20K. The other is from Tiara Networks which is basically a router with dsu running HSRP. The Tiara solution runs about 8K but then is still a spf in my network. I was wondering what people on this list use if anything to accomplish this. I am trying to eliminate SPF in my network as well as the amount of time to recover from a failure. Thanks!
