Need a router (cheapest CISCO 2600...)

Hi - need advice on buying a router. Already have a CISCO 2600 bridging
2 LANs (if "bridging" is the correct term). Need another one to bridge
another 2 LANs (one is the same LAN with the existing CISCO 2600). SO
best guess is another CISCO. But only need 1 port on each LAN. What's
my cheapest option?
Thanks

If just connecting two LANs (=bridging) then a switch should do, connect it
to one LAN port of each distinct LAN.

Is this over a T1 or Frame-Relay?
You can also use a 2500 router, they work in bridge mode (if you're using bridging and not routing, although the 2501 will work in
routing mode too).
