A good number of TA's will have dual ports on them to allow you to use two 64k channels in one unit, and also to allow bonding of the two channels to acheive the 128k speed. I'm not sure if you know this or not, but the PM3's are still using 33.6 cards due to the fact that Lucent/Rockwell still have not come out with good 56k code for their k56Flex modems. The Livingston people don't have a clue as to when they will get it, and all the customers who bought PM3's with the thought that they would have the 56k by now are in an uproar and very dissatisfied...I am on the mailing list for them too. I was going to go the PM3 route myself, but since all that is going on, I am going to USR x2 first because they at least have something that works. The USR Total control unit, however doesn't support ISDN though (AFAIK), so you would have to get an I-Modem rack, which from what I've heard aren't bad either.
