My apologies if some may find this a little off-topic.

However, here is my issue. I need a router, which can take 2 4xT1's and a DS-3, while handing a Gbit for internal use. Now to complicate the entire situation, this needs to go into a 3 bedroom apartment, so I need to keep the power bills down if I can :)

What would everyone recommend? Off-List replies are fine, I will summarize at the end.

Thanks, Joshua Brady

x86 PC with a gig-E, DS-3 and however many DS-1 PCI cards you need. Sangoma[0] and SBE Inc.[1] both sell these (*BSD/Linux compatibility was a big selling point for me). You can even get a Soekris box with one of the Sangoma T1 cards pre-installed for you.
