I have two Cisco 3600 routers that are not being used. I would like to hire someone to manage/configure them to be used on a bonded T1 line. I'm looking in Yahoo! Yellow Pages but I don't know where to start! What should I be searching for?

Any help appreciated!

Tell me what are trying to do and I can guide you though it.

In my yellow pages there are listings under the computer section - networks.

This site tells you which Cisco shops are in your neiborhood.
Smaller firms should be able to give you cheaper price in your case. If all you need is to configure basic bundled T1's.

Ok, I don't have any experience configuring networks from this level but here are a few more details. The Cisco 3600 is a modular router. We are currently using the router on a T1 line. We are planning to upgrade the T1 to a bonded T1. The CIO believes we may need to add in another NIC card.

I called a local tech shop and one guy who seemed knowledgeable told me that the router should work with a bonded T1. He said that the speed change doesn't matter, just as long as you keep the same IP address (which we are planning to do). Any opinions?

I assume it's a FrameRelay connection for your current T1?
Yes you'd need another WIC that's the same w/ your existing WIC (usually a T1 w/ integrated CSU/DSU).
You'll then need to move the interface configuration from the existing interface to the bundled (MFR) interface.

Also see if your ISP can give you some information on what you'll need. If they want your business, they should give you some free help.
