Cisco 1721 Router - Any Use in Home Network?

Hi all

Our corporate service no longer requires use of a Cisco 1721 router.
Can this be used on a home network for anything worthwhile?
I am looking to connect a modem-firewall-router to the network as well to
deliver broadband.

TIA

Phil

Google suggests that the 1721 is a modular design that can support a number
of different WAN interfaces via different card slots (WIC).

If you have the ADSL WIC, I guess you could plug it straight in and have a
very nice modem/router.

If you have the Ethernet WIC, put an Ethernet ADSL modem in front of it and
you have a very nice setup too.

I sold mine on Ebay for quite a few hundred pounds. The buyer was insistent
that I had to have the box as he was going to sell it on to a business
client as new!

I'd report him to someone as selling second hand items as new is
fraudulent at best. It's wamkers like this that give genuiine honest
companies a bad name.
