Have any of you used one of these? We're looking for routers for 
intermediate, smaller tower sites. The layout will basically be:

PoP1---ST1---ST2---ST3---ST4---ST5---ST6---PoP2

ST=small tower

The idea being that we use something on the ST locations that will run 
OSPF so that if a link goes down in the middle for some reason, OSPF 
will route packets automatically to the PoP that it's still able to reach.

So say for instance if this happened:

PoP1---ST1---ST2---ST3---ST4-x-ST5---ST6---PoP2

(x=link down)

the traffic from ST5 and ST6 will only try to go to PoP2, whereas the 
traffic from ST1 through ST4 would go out PoP1. That 3011 router kind of 
seems like overkill, but the price isn't bad ($145) and it should handle 
any amount of traffic that would get thrown at it through these smaller 
tower sites.

Thanks
Sam
