Question : Cisco 2507 to a cable modem...

I inherited a 2507 that has 8 ethernet ports on it.  Are these 8 individual interfaces or just one with a built in hub?  I want to use it for my static IP at home.  Can I do this?
I couldn't find the manual on the cisco site.

Thanks in advance!

OOPS -- you did not mention T-1 before, and that makes a HUGE difference.  I'd have to say NO, this router will probably not work with T-1, at a guess.  For T-1, you need a high speed router, and usually an expensive one.  The cheapo cable-dsl routers are NO GOOD for T-1.  The T-1 bandwidth is 20x to 40x what they can handle.  Check the specs on this router, I don't think it will do T-1, as I recall.  See the link I gave you.  You can get a Cisco PIX router that is fine for T-1 and VPN and high performance internet work, it needs to be fairly new, not an older Cisco.  The serial ports are generally for monitoring the router from a terminal, not anything to do with internet communications.
