Yes but does a Cisco 2501 have a configurable firewall as easy as ipfw or ipfilter and can it be your mailhub/www server/shell account at the same time. I faced this problem some time ago and if you have to buy a PC or some sort of UNIX box as well then why not just buy a PC that does the job of a Cisco at the same time and for half the cost ? > > CSU/DSU is a different story.
