Maybe on a single port on a 10 port only unit could you do this. At most
two ports because the CPU is just going to be overloaded. I don't see
this as a good use of engineering time at all. And yes, I have a bunch of
units in service but if only one or 2 ports on a unit supported it I would
be better off getting OR-U's for those sites that need compression.
Doug Ingraham Question your beliefs. Remember that just because you

USA tolerance in all things and the world can be a better place.
