I need to configure a small router to
support a single server in a hosting facility.
I need to have 2 10/100 WAN ports, and 1 10/100 LAN port.
On one of the WAN ports I need to configure 3 site-site vpn connections supporting a low volume of data.
The other WAN port will be used for route SIP/RTP traffic between the WAN and the server (2-3 Mbps)
Budget is tight so I don't want to over-buy.
Can anyone point me to some suggested hardware/software configs I should be looking at?

I need to have 2 10/100 WAN ports, and 1 10/100 LAN port.
What type of WAN? Ethernet? ADSL? ISDN?
If hand-over is Ethernet then you are looking at the 1800 or 1900 for 2 WAN ports. For an additional 1 LAN port then you need to purchase a HWIC-4ESW 4-port, Layer 2 switch module that will slide into the 1800/1900 router.

Thanks, leolaohoo, Both WAN connections will be Ethernet, so I'll look into the 1800/1900 series as you suggest.
In my office i configure VPN connections using a 2800 series with advanced ip services ios. Is this the IOS i would need on the 1800/1900 in order to configure 3 site-site vpns?

VPN would be supported in IP Services feature set.
