    2509 is the one with the 8 async serial ports, great router. I used to have dozens of them setup for dialup connections to lan. Cisco makes amazing hardware, I still have two 2514's running as vlan bridges for voip to pass dhcp and tapi to some old nortel symposium stuff. The things have been running for 15 years without a single hiccup. The 2509 can still be useful for simple exam prep stuff and you can beat the price.

    If you can keep it ,thats a nice score. Those ones usually go for around AUD $300 to 450 here (US$330 - 485).

    3640's are useful. Just depends on the nm's installed and amount of ram and flash.

    Overview of Cisco Network Modules and Service Modules for Cisco Access Routers - Cisco Systems

    With nm4as or nm4t or nm8as , can use them as a frame switch.
    Or with nm16as or nm32as as an access server (modules can be a bit pricey)
    Understanding 16- and 32-Port Async Network Modules - Cisco Systems

    probably want a nm 2fe2w as well
    Understanding Fast Ethernet LAN/WAN Interface Card Network Modules - Cisco Systems

    Or use them with voice modules

    Ah, too bad it's the GBIC version and not a copper one. You may still get some use out of it, but unless it came with a bunch of gbics, it's of limited use.

    If you want to invest a little money. Copper GBIC's shouldn't be too expensive at this point. Especially with pretty most newer hardware using SFP or XFP format's these days.
    This is our world now... the world of the electron and the switch, the
    beauty of the baud.
