[c-nsp] Recommended Cisco boxes for a small multihoming solution?

[raymondh (NSP)]

If I didn't remember wrongly based on the list price, it's still  
cheaper to get the G2 combo either on the 7201 or 7206 w/ the bundle  
and the difference in cost is quite significant for some.

Unless Magnus sees that there's a need for the central forwarding  
engine/esp or he sees that there's a need for him to scale to a few G  
then the ASR would be a good choice which I'll second to your  
suggestion.
