Use E-bay.
1)
Cisco 4700 or Cisco 4500 on EBAY, with 2FE card, is the cheapesr solution:

+
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3055635959&category=28036
or
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3055680837&category=28036
+ some memory (it uses standard memory with parity).
May be, 4000M with 2 NP-1FE can work, but 4000 is _very_ old (it use
Motorola, 4500 and 4700 uses MIPS) and slow, and very far _out of life_.
4500 is the cheapest case, of course.
2)
Cisco 3620 +_ this module:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3055171886&category=28035
for example
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3055145110&category=51202
3) Cisco 3640:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3055678338&category=51203
4) Cisco 2621
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3055489861&category=11185
Other choice is to have 1 FE and use switch with ISL trunk. It is veery
unlikely that you need full 2xFE interface.
>From technical point of view (if not think about a price), 3550 is the best
solution, of course:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3056042558&category=28040
The best by price / features is 3620 or 3640 - it uses standard memory, can
b expanded, easy to find modules, modules are compatible with new routers.
The worst think you can do is go io Cisco and purchase a new box -:) -
prices are crazy high (2 FE roputer shpuld not cost mopre than 500$).
