I have a 3845 running a 40Mb Ethernet PVC from my Internet provider
and it seems to keep pace even with QoS being applied.  I don't think
that I'd want to push it much further.  I've been pushing for a 7201
to replace the 3845 so I'm ready for the inevitable moment when they
higher ups decide that we need more than 40Mb of Internet bandwidth.
