We installed a PM3 with a single PRI and 1 10 port DSP card a couple of
months ago for a customer and apart from USR Sportster 14,400 modems
that cannot connect we have had ZERO problems.

We were so impressed with it we bought one for ourselves last week with
2 PRI and 4 10 port DSP cards and as soon as testing is finished (the
PRI's were commissioned today) we will be putting it in service probably
on Monday.

Having mainly used Telebit Netblazers (including Mica) and various other
modem servers, we were amazed how easy it was to set up the PM3 and how
reliable it is both for analogue and digital calls.

It also means that without the Netblazer, MTA-32 and Multitech modem
rack, our comms room won't get so warm anymore (PM3's run cold !)

WELL DONE LIVINGSTON !!!!!
