out of all the fast mediums that could be used (firewire, usb 2.0 etc...) why do CISCO routers use a serial interface when connecting DCE -> DTE ??

I'm assuming the OP was referring to regular synchronous serial interfaces which I believe have a max supported speed of ~2Mb/s. I could be wrong.

so serial RS-232 is also beneficial to use b/c it can sustain better data integrety over longer periods of time then usb/firewire..?
