7200VXR, NPE225 or NPE400 (NPEs below 225 won't work, 300 is unsupported).

7200VXR, NPE400 or NPE-G1.  G1 is a bit overkill for 40-50 mbit/s, but
it gives you quite some room to grow.

We really like the 7200s.  Solid work horses...

Cisco-XX uptime is 8 years, 12 weeks, 5 days, 1 hour, 36 minutes
System image file is "slot0:c7200-k3p-mz.120-16.S1.bin"

(Yes, I know.  Security holes and other bugs lurking.  We know where the
problems are and have ACLs in place.  New IOS has been put into flash 
about 10 times since then, but why bother rebooting if the box happily
chugs along?  *If* it crashes, it will get fixed IOS)
