Its irrelevent the 56k demand. Well I shouldnt say irrelevent, of course
its relevent. Lets examine the cost for a CT1 or PRI in your area. In OUR
area, we pay less than 1/2 per channel with a PRI versus single business
telephone lines, so going to a PM 3 (or Max or TC) benefits us whether we
support 56k or NOT. PLUS that is ISDN and analog (if we have the modem
cards) in the same chassy (spelled like it shood be).

What are your costs on the local lines?
