The 2501 in particular was discontinued in 2003. The last of the
2500 series, the 2525, was discontinued early last year, but it was a
very different (modular) design.
They 68030-based 2500 series was replaced by the PowerPC-based
2600 series.
But as far as being the workhorse...most definitely yes. They're
in datacenters everywhere, and will be for a very long time. They're
capable, reliable, pull little power, generate little heat, and they
just plain don't break.

Recent devices? The 2500 platform is upwards of fifteen years
old.

Are these capable of routing DECnet? If so there might be some
interest on the HECnet list.
