None of my vendors (I also operate a > network consulting business) seem to carry them.:( Why bother looking for a "wholesale" price? Livingston will sell you a Portmaster 3 with 1 PRI & 24 digital modems for $9500. Or get the 2 PRI model with 48 digital modems for $17000... You can use the ports for both 33.6 (free 56k upgrade) and ISDN. If you join the ISP/C, you save about another 5% off the price. see: www.livingston.com/Marketing/Products/ispprice.shtml www.ispc.org All the best, -Richard -------------------------------------------- Richard Hodges | (702) 888-3000 Alpine Internet | 400 Fairview Drive rh@alpine.net | Carson City, NV 89701 member, ISP/C
