Go to www.kg2.com to get really inexpensive flash memory. I just bought three sets from there myself.
As far as routers, you won't want to get all 2501s. A couple of those would be good but maybe you should get some other 2500 series routers that have some token ring like a 2504 or 2513. Then try to pick up a router with a bunch of serial interfaces that you can use as a frame relay switch. A 2520 would work for a small lab but you should probably get a 2522 or 2523. The 2523 is hard to find but less expensive. Regards, John >>> "Alex Carvalho" 10/23/01 9:54:13 AM >>> Thanks John, I will have to market now 8mb flash memory, any idea how much do they cost?? About selling all of them and getting 2501's , I will increase the number of routers and maybe I can have 2 of them... I am getting more stuffs like the 7000 series ...I just have to test all the boards and market them..I don;t think it is a good idea to have them installed in a lab.. As far as Switch goes which is the best cost/benefit to have some of them.. Thanks, Alex ""John Neiberger"" wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > Sure, why not?
