Even if you buy a router like Cisco's lowest-end 1005 you would not have
to throw it out when you got a T1. Also, some CSU/DSU's are capable of
handling anything from 56k to a T1 with no trouble.  Any CSU/DSU capable
of handling a Frac T1 should be able to handle 64k to start with just
fine.  That may be the best route to go, since 256k may be a bit hard on
the pocketbook to start with.
