Well then you answered the question. SInce there IS no Stac option for the
5 port BRI card, I will use Multi Line Load Balancing.

Why not? Now that would be KEWL! The idea is to allow an office to have
256 or 512k thruput via bri where cost of bri is SIGNIFICANLTY less than
frac t1 or frame. Either an OR-U that can handle 2 BRI's or stac for the
PM 2e or a BRI card for the PM 3 would be nice.
