I have a 4801 on 1.2b3 in bridging pushing a whole lot more than a T1.

It's had periods of 1-2 hours that it's been up to 15 Mb.  That's
Internet bandwidth - hosted web sites, mail, CVS, etc.

Actually originally had a 4501 in there, and it got the job done just
fine.  We ran it at 6-8 Mb for several hours.  Only reason we put in
the 4801 instead is the webGUI was *horribly* slow.  CPU was pegged at
100% when pushing 6-8 Mb bridging.  I've yet to see the webGUI get
very slow on the 4801.
