Cool man! For the router price just ping @Jason,thogh if you wanted new ones @good prices with SmartNet I could recommend you try out a Cisco partner.We currently have 2 Cisco Gold Partners in town and several more than 10 premier partners who should give you competitive prices.

@George,
The ISP should not charge you for allowing you set up bgp with,it is their duty to do so,but if you dont know how to set up on your end that is when they will charge to configure your end.

Hi
For bgp,it is not a must for you to have your own AS number to have bgp running.Just talk to your ISPs and you can use a private AS number of your choice.This will work very fine

Sup Net Net
I have also been thinking abt bgp for multiple ISP's but I dont think it is economical due the charges involved in getting an AS number. Have you ever run bgp, what are the resource requirements for a rtr?

Good info guys and I like it much. I didn't my ISP can give me a private AS no, Im using UUNet do u know if they do such ama they will drop me another high bill?
Abt the rtrs how much are the 1841 and 2811 locally. I think I need atleast 4 HWIC's and 2 E1 cards and 2 Serial ports. Also what other high end ISR rotuers can I consider at this point?

Haha, thanks Net Net I have been taking those BSCI classes and I'm ready to take on any routing protocol out there. @Jason, just inbox me that info on gmburu@cellulant.com.
