A set of 3 2514's work out nicely. The 2514 routers have 2 ethernets and 2
serial interfaces. You can also use 3 2501's (which is what most people opt
for). The 2501's have 1 ethernet and 2 serial interfaces. You need 3
routers to simulate a frame-relay "cloud." You connect the routers in a
cascaded fashion turning the center router into a frame switch and mapping
DLCIs from one segment to the other.
A 2513 is a nice token ring router tha provides 1 token ring, 1 ethernet and
2 serial interfaces. The token ring routers are generally fairly cheap by
comparision. However, you must keep in mind you will need some token ring
cables and a MAU.
Good luck,
Gregg
