Load Balancing Router with QoS

[Larro112]

Greetings,
I'm looking for a router that can handle two T1 connections and merge them in to one 3mb pipe. Also, I will be using a VoIP application in my network so the router also needs to have a QoS feature.

I'm sure there are a handful of Cisco routers that can handle my needs and any reccomendations would be greatly appreciated. My cisco configurations skills aren't exactly up to par (but willing to brush up) so any other router reccomendations besides cisco would also be greatly appreciated.

Try the Cisco 2801. These will support dual T1's which can be multilinked to form a logical 3mb pipe.

As you're running VOIP, be sure to order the IP VOICE feature set software as a minimum.

You may want to ugprade from the 2801 if you have a very large user base at the site in question.

Do you happen to know of any tutorials on bonding two T1 connections to one 3mb pipe on a 2800 series?

Also, what role does the ip voice feature play? Even with sufficent bandwith will I still need the ip voice feature?

As you can probably tell I don't have much VoIP experience.
