I ended up ordering a c2621 from the 'bay for the faster application, and scrounged a free c2514* from a friend for the slower one. Thank you, Walter, for the 2610 series recommendation, and thanks to the rest of you for your numerous good alternative suggestions.
*I found it interesting that you need an early 12.2(T) or a much later 12.2 or 12.3 IOS for this router in order to configure an Ethernet interface as a DHCP client. I guess in those days, there was very little reason you would ever do that on a router; especially one this expensive.
