[c-nsp] Recommendation request for gateway router specs

[Aled Morris]

I'd look at the ISR2 series if you want a good price/performance balance.

According to Cisco the 3925E (that's the one with the newer SPE-200) can
easily push a couple of hundred megabits and comes with four gig Ethernet
ports as standard and 1 GB of memory (which you can upgrade to 2 GB)
