OTOH, if you're not taking full routes, the 3640 has more than enough CPU
to handle 3 full t1's to ethernet. Currently, flapping full routes will
eat anything less than an RSP-4 or VXR-based 7200. NPE-150's, 3600's
RSP-2's start running out of CPU and memory, if you're not seeing problems
now, give it another year of bloat...
