We started using the Portmaster 3 several months ago now, and we have
not had a bit of trouble except for a few 14.4k modems that couldn't
connect (and that seems to have gone away with ComOS 3.5c6). The uptime
on our box is 34 days; it would have been longer except for someone
unplugged the wrong power cord last month.

We plan to order another PM3 just as soon as BellSouth can install more
PRIs. We have had an order in for almost 2 months now for a second PRI
and they are supposed to install it next Friday.

Does anyone else see the "local phone company" commercials on TV? You
know, the one where they say that the local phone companies are spending
millions of dollars to upgrade the local infrastructure? Yeah, right!
