Cheapest DS3 (non-ATM), that I know of is a Cisco 2650XM router (built-in 10/100 Ethernet) with a NM-1T3/E3. The above should cost around $8200 from most vendors, plus the cost of maint on the 2650 (~$300 for 8x5xNBD, ~$600 for 24x7x4). That sounds to be fairly priced, especially considering DS3's cost about that per month. Another alternative would be from Seranoa (I believe it is more expensive than the above solution), whom I saw demo a product at NANOG 26 which offers DS3 interfaces on one side, and VLAN-capable 10/100 Ethernet on the other side. http://www.seranoa.com/products/products.html If it were up to me, I'd go with the Cisco solution regardless of the price point from other vendors. I mean, you could price out a Nortel Passport 5430 with 10/100 Ethernet and DS3, but I'm positive you are looking at almost 10x the cost, if not more. -dre Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=58948&t=58916 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
