Hello,

I live in Belgium and have an ISDN line (Euro ISDN BRI).  The national
telco (Belgacom) provided me with an NT from Alcatel called Twin Box.

I recently took ADSL and the hardware I got was an Alcatel modem for
ISDN as well as a splitter to connect it to the NT.

I would like to buy me a router but I am confused by the poor
documentation found on Cisco's site or even provided by their support
here.

1. On Cisco's site (http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/cc/pd/rt/800/), the
826 is said to have 'One ISDN, one ADSL interface' though their printed
docs states it is 'one ADSL over ISDN'.  So what is it ?

2. In my case, should I buy a 826 or 827 since I have an ISDN line ?

3. Flash upgrade : they both come standard with 8 MB flash.  Once again
the doc on Cisco's site
(http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/pcat/827.htm) states that I
cannot upgrade further if it already has 8 MB...  Does it mean I have to
remove the existing flash card and put a 16 MB one to reach 16 MB flash
?  Isn't it possible then to order it without flash since I can't do
anything with the original 8 MB if I have to remove it... 

I am quite lost, are you ;o)

Thanks in advance, Marc

Marc,

Why go from ADSL modem to Cisco ISDN Router? Or do you wish to replace the
Alcatel by a Cisco?

Exactly.  I would like a Cisco to experiment IOS since I am involved in
setting up a WAN with Cisco routers.  I would like to be able to talk to
the telco companies with a decent 'language'.

With some luck I'll be able to sell my brand new Alcatel modem.
