2610 with T1 WIC card, Need WAN to ethernet...

[Homersim2600]

Hello, It seems that I have gotten myself into a bit of a pickle, and need a bit of help to get out.

I recently moved into a new office. The office told me that I would get a T1 line. I bought this Cisco 2610 with the T1 interface card so that I could connect to this T1 line. When I was having problems connecting I was told that while it was a T1 line "at the head", the connection that I would make was onto a subnet.

Now, I am stuck with an expensive router for a paper weight unless I can add an ethernet port that will do what the T1 card would do in the respect of interfacing, and isolating, my small network from their network. Any suggestions?

Thank you.

get an WIC-1ENET Card for it

The WIC-1ENET is only supported in the 1700-series routers. You could get a NM-1E module, this is a NM-sized module (takes up the single 'big' slot on the left) and provides a single 10BaseT Ethernet interface (there is a NM-4E as well that has 4 10BaseT ports that will work also).
That seems to be the only way you could utilise the 2610 (I assume it is a 2610XM as the 2610 hasn't been available for a while).
