Doesn't even operate as a "Switch Feature Card" like the RSFC or MSFC
does... more like a Cat5000 RSM or a Cat6000 MSM... virtual gig-e
connections into the backplane that can be configured as an etherchannel if
needed.

I'd not waste time with the Cat4000 Sup2/Layer-3 card combo... go with the
Sup3 engine. According to the "product literature" it's about 4 times as
fast. I also think it runs native IOS as well instead of presenting as two
separate devices.
