No weasel words necessary.

I won't speak for the M20, but I've always thought of the 7206 as a software-routing platform - it's a pretty good swiss-army-knife software router which supports limited hardware acceleration of specific functions.  Is there anyone who considers the 7206 a "hardware" router?
