We no longer make the old cards. And we no longer develop code for
the old cards. They are dead.

Our intention is to get EVERYONE with PM-3s upgraded to new cards (overseas
as soon as code is out) and get all old cards out of the field and out
of service.

Over all I think there are FEWER issues with the new cards than with the
old ones. And the new issues tend to have quick work arounds. Keep in
mind this is the first public shipping of Lucent K56flex server code. This
is brand spanking new stuff. For a first shot I think it is damn good -
even if it wasn't it would be. I also expect issues to be fixed rapidly.
We're the flagship for Lucent - they have a major stake in having their
technology succeed via the PM-3. The market is watching.
