I would say 2520 can be pricey. You get 2 high speed ports, 2 low speed and 1 bri and 1 ethernet.
for example, I sell 4500M's 32MB DRAM/16 Flash, 4 DTE/DCE cables, 1 ethernet, 4 serial, for $600.00. Thats cheaper than you'll probably see a 2520 for, plus you get all the cables.. Sure the 2520 has 1 BRI, i can throw in 4 BRI interface module (NP-4B) for $50 extra. The 4500M is like a dragster next to the 2520, its a whole different world than the 4000/4000M. It has a RISC processor. 4500M's are modular and can take FastEthernet and ATM interfaces. Just trying to be helpfull :) I have a small book I am publishing on the net, it will be on lab equipment selection and it goes into detail on frame relay switch selection. should be done in about 30 days.
