Cisco router for VM 50Mb?

Yeah an 1841 would be ideal, and there have been some relative ebay bargains that I've missed by the skin of my teeth (most notable was a few months ago when an 1841 went for £220!).

Really? Looking at the new prices are just eye watering with the ADSL addon. :eek:

Like you, I am also studying towards my CCIE and have been looking for places to obtain Cisco equipment to setup test labs etc…

EDIT:Is the WIC-1ADSL or HWIC-ADSL for ADSL, ADSL2, ADSL2+ etc... ?

That's my plan, my "lab" is growing at an alarming rate though, but my 2651XM will become part of my voice lab, given it now has an NM-HDV, PSTN card (and I have a PRI-ISDN card for if I fancy routing voice over ISDN), 3x PVDM-12 modules, a full compliment of RAM and Flash, and two WIC1-ADSL cards. It has a nice IPvoice IOS on it, and callmanager express :) Couple that to my 4 3524 PoE switches, my 2 3548XL's and my 871, I've got a pretty nice lab environment.

It's a hefty 2651XM :D

Interesting decision to use it as a voice lab as it's the job it's least suited to! (voice is the area where the PPS throughput rating actually really matter)

Then again I guess you're not actually not going to put any serious load on it in a lab...
 
Does anyone actully know of a website that compares the differences between these sort of cisco routers? I've been looking at and planning a CCNA (and eventully CCNP) lab for quite a while and there are so many different routers and without going in depth into technical specifications it is hard to know what devices are good for what use.
