   (for us at least, subtract the price of the TE110P cause all our T1's
come to us on DS3s, and we already have DS3 routers in place and paid for.)

    Based off that, if I can get a S240I for $1,000 then I'd by it instead.
Anything higher priced than that, and it just isn't a cost effective
solution.

My $0.02
