Thanks for clearing broadcast issue, so I do need
broadcast on Ethernet interface. I do get quite few
input errors and everything is seems okay on the switch
connected including duplex, speed settings so not sure
why it's getting CRCs and input errors.
For ping latency to ISDN sites issue, I gone through 
talking TAC and this newsgroup but no luck yet Cisco is offering new
router but I do not think it's router. We have T1 going out to 
ISDN sites using Cisco 7505. weird thing is ping latency goes 
in circle meaning it's not only one site but to all sites one by one..

Thanks

What does, "Lots," mean? Broadcasts are part of life in a network, cf. ARP, 
GNS, SAP, RIP updates, etc.

>I also get "input errors" on that interface

What percentage of your input packets is it? Are they collisions (normal in 
an unswitched environment), CRC's, or ?? You may want to check your cabling,

and your speed/duplex settings if the router is plugged into a switch.

>and big ping (up to 1200ms) latency to isdn sites.

Could be caused by many, many things. It's unlikely this has anything to do 
with your ethernet interface. You might start by looking for overutilized 
circuits causing routers to drop packets from their output queues.

>What to expect if I turn off these broadcasts?

ARP won't work, therefore TCP/IP won't work.

>Do I need receive broadcast packets on interface?

Yes.
