(PM) finding number of channels in use via SNMP

I sent in this question last week but didn't seen an answer, so I thought
I'd try again.

How does one get the number of PRI channels currently in use on a PM3 via
SNMP?

I can get the number of users logged in by asking for ifNumber, but that
counts 1 for every _user_, and a multilink customer could be using more
than one channel.

The only way I've seen so far is to get the interface names, and then for
each interface find the current link speed, and assume the number of
channels used by that user is ceil(link speed / 64000). But that's a lot
of work to ask for the speed for each connection, so I was hoping there
was a nicer way :-)

Thanks.
