Don't rule out the Nokia platform. It gives you the throughput of Unix
without the overhead of administering Unix if you don't have the on-site
personnel to do it. The new IP650's claim to do something like 120Mb's
throughput (NT can't even touch that) and they build reduncancy into the
unit itself. The IP330 is a good choice for small remote sites too. It's
less powerful with throurhput similar to NT (25-30Mbs) and can actually
replace the router if you opt for the T1 interface for that unit.
