Really? I had a problem with moderate traffic on an IRX-114, which is why
I switched to a 2501 and it handles it. Still I need a bigger router, as I
don't plan to try BGP on a 2501. Besides it won't take the ATM card I'll
be needing in the next few months.

Ah.. Willem, not sure if you can still get an ASN, but I will say that it
is a bit of a hassle. Expect to pass many messages.
Just hope I can push for a /19 (gotta love sprint) in a couple months.

No wonder why Livinston is growing. ;-)
And they don't have to advertise like others do.
