So now, even the age-old "litmus test" of "how do I program my Cisco to do that?" is a bad one?
Actually, in the case of service providers, this is exactly why the "cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net" was established. Well, it wasn't really established at that site, but that's where it migrated later. The list is available for discussion of cisco service provider specific discussions just like this one. If you want to talk about Juniper routers, on the other hand.... :-) :-) dave

Don't mean to be rude, these questions would be more appropriate for inet-access, et al. Most people on this list are national or international backbone operators. Appropriate topics concern operating backbones.

I'm looking similarly, but T1/PRI for dial-in support and a T3 to the Internet. Got Cisco 6509 on the Internet side and Ascend MAX 6000 on the WAN side. Bothe managed by Checkpoint, on a Sun Ultra5.

I have a question... I am currently expanding our network to accommodate a T1 to the Internet and a 512K frame connection to our WAN.. I need to purchase a router and spoke to several vendors. I have heard conflicting stories regarding the model of Cisco router I should get.
One vendor <vendor a> tells me that I should get a 2620 with 2 Wan Ports and the other vendor <vendor b> is telling me that I might compromise my security by using one router for WAN and Internet connections. Their suggesting that I get 2 routers one for my Wan and another for the Internet connection...
Vendor B is telling me that it would be possible to enter our wan without touching our firewall should someone be able to hack into our IOS on the router...
I decided to go the experts... I would appreciate any helpful suggestions.
Thanks...
