I have been looking for a sub 5K router on the used market to support around 30-50 megs peak traffic.
...
We are looking at a pure Ethernet environment - but with the desire to support a lot of value added services - such as IPSEC, VoIP, traffic accounting. Cisco's have traditionally been good at PRI and T-1 and T-3 type interfaces - which we don't really need -which leads me to think Foundry might be an option.
With a pure Ethernet environment, a 7140-2FE with 256 MB should do the job wonderfully. I see a 7140-2FE on Ebay right now for $3000 - you'd probably need some more memory, but under $5000 should be easily doable (even if you want to do it legally and get an IOS license transfer from Cisco).
