Buy a Cisco 7206 VXR with NPE-G1. They cost around 100-200USD for a
complete unit. They even do fair-queue and run much of the original code
from the 90ties (I doubt it's been touched much).
If you need full Internet BGP tables then it needs to have 1GB of RAM.
I have close to 20 year experience with these kinds of boxes, so I can
help you before you buy.
