I was wondering if anyone new a source that could help size / compare routers. I am looking at replacing my aging 3600 point to point routers but selecting a new router since they have been phased out comes with questions. I dont need to bundlle all these services into a router. Im looking for plain jane point to points to handle dual t-1 WIC slots. I looked at the 1841 but how can I tell if it can handle the load.. 50 users at a branch office?

thanks,

I always go 2800, for what your trying to do it would be the best option. I would go with a 2801 with a VWIC-2MFT-T1. The will give you 2 FastEthernet and 2 T1 connections.
 
I've got a few 2811's and 2821's, each with 100-200 users on them.
Good general-purpose routers that can easily handle 50 users with a couple T-1s.
