I have a 1605 now, but it seems to bottleneck a bit during VOIP - I'd
like to find something on Ebay that would work for SMB install and
allow optimized VOIP services

What would you suggest?

1. depends on how many voice lines, types etc.

basic voice on a small cisco has a 2 port FXS, E+M or FXO daughtcard -
either on the router itself for some models, or for a carrier module that
has DSPs to do voice processing.

there are several country varients for the earlier versions. - so lots of
choices...

(as well as ISDN BRI and various PRI interfaces - be careful you get voice
rather than packet based interface flavours for ISDN).

you can get some idea of the model numbers here:

bigger router slots etc:

2. ask in the comp.dcom.sys.cisco group.

you might find a 1750 / 1760 - but be aware that the DSPs, feature in IOS
and a 2 port analog interface may be worth more than the router.....

26xx / 37xx / 37xx would need a network module and voice cards in that AFAIR

FWIW you are supposed to get a new licence for a 2nd hand cisco for the IOS.

it may well be cheaper to keep the router and get an ATA (analog telephone
adaptor) - the popular ones get mentioned here frequently.
