Well, that depends on where the original poster (OP) is. I've deleted most of the thread, but I don't recall the OP saying they were in the US. There are other places in the world, and many (most?) of them don't use T1. >From the main provider in Australia, frame relay is available at up to 2 Mbps on an X.21 interface (among others), and at up to 44 Mbps on HSSI. So 8 Mbps on a single link is not an issue - we have a couple of 8 Mbps frame relay services, in fact. However, I agree that more information is needed - the OP should talk to their provider and find out what physical interface is required, before committing to a particular router.

Frame Relay relies on T1, so the max you will get is 1.5Mbps. Are you looking for a solution with, say, 6 T1s to provide you with the 8Mbps you need? Or, are you looking for a solution that will allow you to do 8Mbps over Frame Relay over a single link? I might be putting my foot in my mouth, but I don't think such a service exists. That's what ATM is for. A 2600 would likely be running out of breath with 6 T1s, even fast-switched. Look at a 3640 for your needs.
