We've been using a Max 4004 for quite some time now, and have had 0 problems with it. Supposed to handle up to 4 T1/PRI lines, and either 72 or 96 digital modems (not sure if the 16 port cards are out yet) offering k56flex, ISDN, and maybe other connections as well (dedicated lines). -- Troy Settle Network Administrator, iPlus Internet Services http://www.i-Plus.net
