So if I have a PM3 and a PRI and I want it to handle analog modem calls,
I have to populate it with 24 digital modems (to cover the 23 usable
lines - 3 8-modem cards) and give up all ISDN functionality?

Is this per channel or for the whole line?

I'm very confused now! I though I could configure the PM3 to handle
a situation with say 16 analog lines (2 8-modem cards) and 7 ISDN lines.
I guess not, though - bummer. This could change my whole digital plan :(
