We've got a 3640 128MB w/3 1e2w's and 1 fast ethernet. 6 T1's going on it,
1 10mbit ethernet and 1 100mb ethernet.

Dual-T1 setups to AT&T and C&W, and a single T1 to Sprint. We use dual
static routes to the bgp neighbor to load balance the dual-T1 setups. We
take customer routes from C&W, ATT, Sprint. I also have primary and backup
default routes for traffic which doesn't fit a route from the BGP.

I'm not yet convinced that taking full routes is necessary to have
redundancy AND good paths to a majority of places.
