2514 w/RJ 45's can be used to give you console access to all the devices in the "pod" Probably less expensive than the WTI brand Console Management Switch (CMS) I used which do the same thing. Either way, you will want one or the other to gain console access remotely 3620's with right cards make good "backbone" routers b/c you can attach 4 serial v.35's per card for the "pod" routers 2514's worked for me-but you may get by w/2501's Hope this info helps Brad Dodds CCNA WAN Engineer Network Consulting Services Missouri Research & Educational Network (MOREnet)
