as i said in my original post, i am using the 2511 as the terminal
server for a bunch of out-of-band console ports. works great. a
lot of folk have been doing the same for a long time. ssh to the
2511 and then async out to the broken devices. and you can put a
modem on the con or aux for an other path way in.
i was not recommending using it as a router. though this one is
participating in my very local (one rack) ospf mesh.
