Well, check this out:
4 x ET/5025PQ-4-25-V.35 (4 T1 Capable Ports) @ $1995. = $7980. 
Basic Pentium box with 64MB RAM, 1GB SCSI, PCI ether < $2000

So a 16-T1-port router for under 10 grand. I doubt anyhing from cisco,
Ascend, Livingston, et. al. can beat that. To get that level of density on
a cisco you would need at least a 7000 (I think).
