2520's and 2521's don't exactly go for cheap either :)
2520 and 2521 have 2 high speed serials, and 2 low speed serials. The
4000 NP4T is high speed. 4000 could add token, ethernet, hssi, fddi, etc.
The 4000 is a nice box, would cost around $1200 with np2e,
np4T. 4500/4700 can add a Fast Ethernet as well.
I use an AGS+ for my frame switch. I didn't think at first these could do
FR switching, but other pointed out here it can. If you get an AGS+ make
sure you get the CSC/4 with 16MB DRAM 4MB flash. For a FR switch their
are alot of ways to go, but the CSC-4T is probably what you want (4 high
speed serials). I paid $75 for my AGS+, it has:
CSC/4 processor
CSC/MC+ flash memory
CSC/4S 4 slow serials
CSC/4s 4 slow serials
CSC/1s 1 slow serial
CSC/1r 1 token ring
MEC44 ethernet
CCTL2 Ciscobus2 card
CSC-ENV enviromental card
I added a CSC/4T - four high speed serials for $50.
Its ugly. Its loud. but it works :)
