If he is going to receive full routes from his upstream ISP, 16mb is not
going to cut it at all. 64mb really is necessary, more than that is
optimal. I doubt that customer-only routes from a UUNet or MCI will even
be happy with 16.
I think the most RAM you can fit into any Lucent box that is currently
shipping is 32mb (a PM3). Dunno about the PM4.
