Once upon a time Sherwood Pekelo shaped the electrons to say...

I wonder if they meant B channels and not 'BRI'? Or can these take the
S/T BRI cards? But if so, then you are limited to fewer channels if you
want to hit modems with them. And the PRI ports are superfluous...

Well, 2 PRI.

I think they've just started shipping their cards. Not sure if the 56K
code is with this HW though. But they are FLASH upgradable from what I have
seen.

RADIUS is a trademark of Livingston, they *SHOULD* have a 'TM' on that and
a note on the page that the trademark is ours, technically.

It isn't a registered trademark yet, that is still pending. (Takes a while.)
