It actually is running in production and NEVER crashes, it's been up for more
than a year now without any issues. So it definitely works, though it only has
a 10Mbps internet circuit terminating on it, so CPU never hits any critical
levels.

I'm really fond of the 2811, offers every slot I want in a router (NM and
HWIC), 1RU, 19" wide and has about 60-75Mbps without services, enough for most
branch office connections. Besides that, it's dead cheap and even supports
15.0M with the most advanced features :-) (perfect for in a lab environment as
well, which is why I ordered 20 of them to build a couple study racks)

BGP, only during convergence it is (for a couple minutes that is :-)
