We just got a two PM3s and the four channelized T1s to go with them (no ISDN here). They seem to work absolutely wonderfully. In the space of a few modems, they can handle 96 incoming calls, whereas we previously had a wall full of equipment for 60 lines. Digital modem banks are really the only way to go nowadays.. at least for the ISPs that aren't run out of someone's kitchen. -- Christopher Masto . . . .
