We are currently looking at getting a 6mbit DS3 for our internet
connection and I'm wondering what would be the minimum cisco equipment
we would need to suffice with that bandwidth. Is there any special
network modules needed? I believe the 2620 we have now will not handle
this load.

Thanks for the help.

First you need to know what type of DS3 you're getting. There's
ATM and "regular". Assuming a regular DS3 I'd look at a
3725 with an NM-1E3T3 card.
