for about the price of two 720xVXR boxen, you could get a m10i and have a
single chassis with dual routing engines...but like the 720xVXR, ~100Mbps
traffic wouldn't really even be noticed by the router :)

i have no experience with the 38xx yet, but the 3745 seems to be able to
handle a ds3 or two.  this is of course assuming clear-channel ds3 -
unless i have missed the product announcements, you have to have a 72xx
for channelized :(
