This will only answer one of your questions:
The Ethernet version of the 2523 is the 2522. It has all the same specs, but
Ethernet instead of TokenRing. Note thought, that it's 10BaseT, so whatever
Ethernet device you connect it to must be able to speak 10mbps Ethernet. If
it's a 10/100 auto detect switch (witch most of them are now a days), you
wont have any problems.
If you look up 2500 series routers on http://www.cisco.com, you might find
some other 2500 series routers that you can use, if you do not need all the
interfaces that the 2522/2523 has.
For that matter, you can use other routers that the 2500 series - spend a
little time on Cisco's site to see what you really need.

Ole

Subject: cisco 2523 2 b or not to b ? [7:11513]
hello,
please i need your input. i am migrating / converting my
token ring to ethernet topology. this network is about 200
users all running on token ring connected via a mau to an
ibm 82xx switch, from there to acisco 2523 utp port.
now the cisco 2523 is a token ring router that connects
this network to another bigger network (token ring too. to
be migrated to ethernet soon.). if i am going to use
ethernet now, how do i interface my cat 35xx switches to
this cisco 2523. someone told me about translational
bridging is it applicable here? do i need to get a new
router for this network ( ethernet port) what router is
applicable , is there a short cut , even if temporary?
please i will appreciate any input
akin
