Smartnet for old hw

Hi,

I'm working on a merger project and on one side there are quite old
boxes like 2924XL and 3640 with ancient firwmare. Tried contacting
local Cisco dealers to find how I can get support (smartnet I think)
for these devices, but always ended listening to a sales blurb for new
equipement that is NOT the option. Didn't find much info even on cisco
web site.

Any suggestions?

Cisco BGP router recommendation

Hello,

We are considering moving to BGP on our border Internet router. It
would have two full load-balanced DS3 connections to our upstream
provider. Would a Cisco 7206VXR with an NPE-400 and 512MB RAM be
sufficient horsepower?

Thanks for any help!
