Simple. In the US, a T1 = 26 Channels. In other countries that support the
E1 standard, we have 30 Channels. Thats why a E1 does 1984Kbps and a T1
only does 1664Kps (correct my fiugres if they are wrong.. its late here =) ).
This means that I can fully populate my PM3 with 60 Modems (as I have done)
and plug it into 2 E1 PRI's, and voila... 60 Modems.

a PM3 *UNLESS* theres some trick to T1's I dont know about =)
