Though the hardware to do the line protocol conversion usually isn't
free.  And chucking good enough quality hardware at it to route stuff as
fast as humanly possible (trying to do routing linespeed between 8
100MBit network interfaces, for example) isn't exactly cheap either.

IOS isn't necessarily the expensive bit of a Cisco router.

Of course, I use Linux boxen for all my routing needs anyway. :-)
