I'll add my #.02 worth:

I've worked with/used Cisco in many applications. But, for your needs in an
enterprise-class mode of service I would highly recommend the Netopia
3387W-ENT available from provantage.com for about $125 USD new. Provides
everything you will need and more and is as reliable as they get. My firm
actually uses them to connect real-time ATMs around the country and they're
rock solid. FWIW we tried Cisco 8xx's first and they didn't work anywhere
near as well for 5-8x the price.

Good luck.
