[ANSS-netops] Low Power Router

[David S. Croker]

Bob, that's great news!  Maybe Sierra Wireless was tired of taking 
technical support questions from us about running more than one 
device behind the modem.

Rayo, thanks for the info about using the wireless routers.  Good idea.

For Steve, the router we have been using for years at remote field 
sites is the Cisco 1602.  It consumes a little less than 4 W, but 
that is as low as I've seen, although I haven't searched much in 
recent years.  They haven't been produced for several years, but we 
still find a good supply at used resellers for not much money.

Mark, we haven't used the XE version.  I seem to recall that the 
difference in price didn't make it worth it, but I'm not 
positive.  We have used the serial port to our advantage in the past, 
so I guess it can come in handy, and worth it.

Dave
