Thanks for the input guys.
We have a couple of guys going for their CCIE at work (RS, Security and 
Voice) so will spec mainly 2811's.
How about this for a start:
Frame Relay Switch    1x 2811 with NM-8A/S
Access Server         1x 2811 with NM-16A and 2x CAB-OCTAL-ASYNC=
R1                    1x2811 with 2x WIC-1T
R2                    1x2811 with 2x WIC-1T
R3                    1x2811 with 1x NM-4A/S
R4                    1x2811 with 2x WIC-1T
R5                    1x2811 with 2x WIC-1T
R6                    1x2811 with 2x WIC-1T
BB1                    Use FR Switch
BB2                    1x2801
BB3                    1x2801 with 1x WIC-1T
4x WS-C3560-24TS-E
12x CAB DB60-DB60 Crossover (what is the cisco part number for this?)
I went with individual WIC-1T's to keep the interface types the same as 
the IE topology.
One question I have is if I use the FR switch as BB1, how does this work?
Thanks,
Jo
