Thanks for your replies Dave. I called Cisco and we decided on a 2611 with
the 16 port modem module. The 1601's we have do not have an aux. port so
they recommend changing to 1720's. They did say that it may be possible to
configure the console port for the modem but that it was not recommended.
(Security hole)
Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for the response and your insight!
Thank you,

Internal modems look at the 2600 and 3600 series routers. It's
fortunately been years since I have set up an external modem rack but
any of the big names surely make them.
