I've been using c7200-js-mz.123-8.T4.bin for about six weeks now as an
LNS; while it's not GD it runs quite nicely on an NPE300 and I believe
will run on your G1 as well.  Our load peaks at a little over 1600
simultaneous users, 55% CPU, 50 Mbit aggregate (up + down) traffic
through router (your mileage will obviously vary since you have a much
more studly CPU).  CPU load is slightly inflated because of
outstanding issues with a few hosts that are moving oversized L2TP
packets that get fragmented and need reassembly to pop the PPPoE frame
(fragment reassembly is most assuredly *not* in the fast switching
path).

Hope this helps,
