Kyle,
sorry I was a little unclear....I wasn't particularly pointing to the
cable itself, well cut the cable with a backhoe and it'll still die ... ;)
More so the interconnect to the box is my point of contention. Where if
your OC-3 interface dies the whole box is then a nice office heater...
whereas with multiple PRIs one interface down doesn't kill the whole use
of the box.
Though I still would LOVE to be able to say I have 672 lines in one
box.... ;) who knows, I can dream or is it fantasize? hehe
