I also recommend the Cisco 678.  It is pretty versatile and easy to upload

If only they used the standard Cisco IOS instead of CBOS.

One minor point The Cisco 678 is capable of being EITHER CAP, DMT, or
DMT lite depending upon which Bios is loaded. I have available all three
versions if required.
