Linux itself will operate a router. If you are looking for something to
hook to a 56K or T-1 line, all you need is an appropriate serial
interface. In fact, cards advertised as "router" cards are in fact just
high speed serial ports, with appropriate drivers for them, and
instructions on how to configure the routes in your O/S.

I know Cisco makes such a card (dunno about Linux drivers tho), and there
is something called the N2CSU that I cant remember who makes, that is both
two high-speed ports, with one CSU built in, that does have Linux drivers.
