FWIW, 1605's don't usually go for too cheap on ebay. Usually they come in
at about $1000 if memory serves me right.
compare that with typical ebay prices for:
cisco 4000 empty $400
cisco 4000 2 ethernet module $400
in other words, I think the 4000 is a better deal (for alot of things, not
just replacing a 1605........but instead of say 2501, etc)
