ATM certainly would be a solution, but there are also Frame over DS3/E3 services. Of course, any of these would need the appropriate high-speed interfaces, which immediately rules out the 2600 -- unless the service happened to use metro Ethernet as its local loop. It certainly would be worth pricing an inverse multiplexer that fed into an Ethernet port on a 2600, but you are entirely likely to need a 3600 or faster anyway. Inverse multiplexers from serial interfaces to Ethernet usually are cheaper per processor cycle than the same cycles on the router, but they do inject the complexity of another box. In the past, I've liked products of this sort from Tiara Networks, but the last I looked, they seem to be trying to move out of that niche into edge routing. > >A 2600 would likely be running out of breath with 6 T1s, even fast-switched. >Look at a 3640 for your needs. > >Paul > >""suaveguru"" wrote in message >[EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... >> hi all >> >> thanks for all the comments and tips given by some of >> you guys .
