As for stability, OSPF runs very well on the latest releases as long as you keep it simple, use just a single area, and never let the box get too busy. If it does get CPU bound or memory bound, the OS seems to want to crash OSPF pretty quickly. That means half load of modems, no or very light filters, etc. We run quite a few Maxen with 48 modems and 2 PRIs only, and rarely (almost never) ever have any problems at all. No FE's no sudden resets, no routing problems, and adequate performance. More, it's been that way for some time. (modem compatibility issues aside of course) The 4004 was *marketed* to make you believe that it could handle 72 modems, HDLC, features enabled, route this, bridge that, RIP, OSPF, la da da. It was engineered quite differently.
