When I got into work, there was a new misco catalogue, so here are the
prices:-

RT328 isdn router with 2 phone ports 178.99 + vat
RH348 isdn router + integrated 4 port hub 219.99 + vat
RM356 Analogue IP router 56K V90 168.99 + vat

prices for 10/100 hubs are as follows :-

4 port 49.99 +vat
6 port 72.99 + vat
8 port 99.99 + vat

I also checked the price of the 3com 3C891 and its 194.99 + vat so if you
only need 4 or less ports and you are happy with 10mbps technology, the
3com
has it on price. If you want 10/100 mbps then get a router without hub and
buy a standalone 10/100 hub with as many ports as you need.

This is the way I am set-up so if you have any questions, just fire away :)
