It's cheaper to get a Cisco 2501 (dual serial interfaces, ethernet port) + external CSU/DSU than the PCI card for the PC. Heck, for the price of the PCI card you can get a spare or three! > At any rate, even if I have to buy a whole router (with csu/dsu) for > T1 I will still be able to use m0n0 bridged, right? Correct. > Does anyone else use this type setup? What is a common base line T1 > router? A Cisco 2501 or 1601R is a common "base line" router. A 2610 or 1720 with a WIC-1DSU-T1 is also fairly common. It would be a very good idea to get in touch with a broker - talking with the sales guys can sometimes be educational - they know the equipment better than you or I - and if you tell them your requirements they make sure you get the right equipment. Three such brokers are * Optimum Data (http://www.optimumdata.com) * Network Hardware Resale (http://www.networkhardware.com) * Multi-Link Communications (http://www.mlcp.com) Be sure to google for more!
