We are using PRI from a DMS-100 and we plugged it in and haven't thought
about it since (Well, except for the first few ComOS updates to fix broken
14.4k modems.)

It seems that the people having problems are using Channelized T1 lines. I
haven't thought twice about the product since we plugged it in.

People with USR modems seem to get lower connect speeds, but similar
throughput. Also, IBM MWave modems don't work correctly, but they don't
work with anything! Based on my experience with the PM3, I highly recommend
it.
