[c-nsp] Recommended IOS for 7500

[Jay Nakamura]

Speaking of scrapping it, what router or L3 switch would you recommend to

- Connect legacy T1 users (1 or 2 DS3s)
- Connect direct Ethernet users (Colo or Eth WAN 40~50mbps aggragate)

that's cheap and reliable, new or used?  Again, QoS and rate limiting
is most we would use over simple L3 forwarding.  Doesn't have to carry
full BGP routes.  The two function can be on separate devices.
