Cheap Dual T1 Router

ErikH — Thur, 19 Jun 2008 03:42:03 GMT

Hey Guys,

Anyone out there recently buy/running a Dual T1 router? I have 2 point to points coming into a location and Cisco is trying to sell me a 2800. This seems like expensive overkill to me. Does anyone have any suggestions for something cheap and effective? Preferably something that's recent enough to be reliable?

Thanks in advance!

Routermall Launches New Site Design to Coincide With "Leap Day"

routermall — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 03:20:35 GMT

Every four years February 29 gets added to our calendar to correct for Earth's time for circling the Sun being a fraction more than 365 days. For those of you thinking the change was overdue (and we agree!), it seemed befitting that our metamorphosis should coincide with this periodic, albeit infrequent occurence.

The staff at Routermall hopes you appreciate the fact that the site has more than one color now, although in comparison with the previous version, it may now require sunglasses. The goal was to create a streamlined interface that was easier to navigate. If you notice any issues or bad links (hey, stuff happens), please let us know and we'll get it taken care of. In the meantime, take a look, let us know what you think (good and bad) and by all means, buy more used Cisco stuff!

keyboard not functioning

alomega — Fri, 13 Apr 2007 10:28:04 GMT

My keyboard is not functioning on a 2501. I think the console port is malfunctioning. Does anyone know a work around, or someone who repairs the motherboard, or replacement motherboards for the router?

Thanks for your efforts.
