It looks as if USR has lowered prices CONSIDERABLY for their terminal
services. We just got quoted a price for a USR Total Control model with 48
modems + 2 pri for $14,352. This includes everything but a $250 fan.
That is about $295 per port.

Now, I paid $11,000 for my PM3. It's a nice box, includes 2 PRI, but I
elected to only get 24 modems, but to upgrade to 48 modems it's going to
cost me $5,691 for a total cost of about $16,700.

At the time we purchased the PM3, the USR was about $560/port. I guess
they are going all out to support x2. Is this the beginning of a price
war?
