We dont use ATM, our connection to the telco is Ethernet 100mb
that is why we have the second Ethernet card. So as long as we do
not generate over 100 megabit between the telco and us we are fine.
If we do then we would have to upgrade to 1 gigabit, but that would
never happen. we would run out of PPP connections on the 7204 first.

Then we would have to set up a second 7204 on a separate Ethernet
connection to the telco and they would load balance incoming connections
between our 7204's

Work fine with emerald, all connections are auth'ed with Radius.
Only downfall I have found is that Cisco IOS doesn't seem to
accept radius session time-out, or idle time-out.
