This subject has been hacked around lately with no definitive answer. A while back I found I could configure dot1q encapsulation on a 261x router but today I spent a little time going thru release notes and such and could find no definitive support for this. I have sent an email to some Cisco folks hoping to find out once and for all unless of coarse some has this info!!
