Cisco 2524 hardware question

Hi,
I recently purchased a Cisco 2524 router. It has an AUI and a 10bT port installed as well as a 4-wire 56K/64K DSU/CSU. The router also has 2 empty module slots and i was wondering if either would support another 10bT so that i can use it as a wan port...say for an internet connection and then use the other 10bT port to hook into a switch for the internal lan. I would sure appreciate it if anyone could tell me if this was possible.

Thanks,

Eric
 
The 2524 and 2525 are both shipped with one inbuilt 10Mb/s ethernet port which presents as both RJ-45 and AUI. The slots in the router can accommodate only WAN modules, including sync serial, ISDN and CSU/DSU.
There are no ethernet modules available.

sorry

If you bought this and hoped to use this router for home use, one Ethernet port connect to the cable/dsl modem and the other ethernet port to a hub/switch for intranet, you bought the wrong router.
 
Thanks for your replies. I bought the router for study purposes only. My curiosity as to whether the router would accomodate yet another ethernet port was merely for product capability.
