NetVanta 3200
Modular Access Router - Single Slot/Single Ethernet
The NetVanta 3200 is an access router designed for cost-effective Internet access, corporate Frame Relay, point-to-point connectivity, and Virtual Private Networking (VPN) for applications requiring bandwidth from 56k to dual-T1s. Residing in a standalone desktop chassis with a plastics enclosure, the NetVanta 3200 is a single platform that offers one interface slot and one 10/100Base-T Ethernet LAN port. The modular NetVanta 3200 will house a variety of Network Interface Modules (NIMs) and includes a Statefull Inspection Firewall, QoS for delay sensitive traffic like VoIP, NAT and DHCP, and all managed with a familiar Command Line Interface (CLI).
The command line of the router is familiar. It has the look and feel of cisco routers. This makes using the CLI easy and comfortable for anyone familiar with configuring cisco router.
Adtran Reliability
Adtran in my opinion makes some of the best most reliable equipment. Their support is top notch and never let you down. I've only had a problem with their tech support when they have been backed up. Besides this occurring once or twice their technical support staff is top notch.
The NEC communicate with each other over the point-to-point T1 just fine. but when a download is initiated from either side to the other, the voice is terrible. After upgrading the operating systems on both Adtrans, which I have to say was a breeze, I had more quality of service tools at my disposal. After trying various methods to smooth the voice quality there was no fixing it. The reason I found that the quality of the VoIP is so bad is providers line is bad. In particular, it seems it's the transmit pairs at one of the locations. This will be a long drawn out fight with the service provider for sure. They have tried to blame the customer premises equipment but I'm steadfastly standing behind the Netvanta router.

I've installed these CSU/DSU routers before. They are great to work with. Updates are easy and the GUI interface is smooth and well layed out. The command line is like cisco's so it's easy to work with.
