Just joined the list. Yay.
Seems to me that thanks to VOIP people are now trying to do big things with still relatively low bandwidth connectivity and/or consumer-grade hardware. Little Netopia routers aren't going to get you where you need to be. The solution is to upgrade to either a Linux-based router (as Michael suggests) or to a bigger router hardware (not a cheap way to go about it though).

Hello all,
We've discovered that VoIP (IAX2) + Citrix + Video is pegging the measly
CPU on the Netopia router our ISP provided. We've got 3Mb/3Mb and will
increase to 4/4 next year.
The Netopia simply breaks out our WAN IPs, and we've got a switch hooked up
to it on the inside (Actually I've got a QoS box in-between).

Any recommendations on something that isn't as pricey as Cisco? I'm in
discussions about us building Linux units down the line, but for now we
need something we can buy. Cisco is too expensive for us.
