Hmm, this begs the question, how many WAN cards can a PM3 take? More than
1? 2? 6?

And now further how does it handle doing say 3 T1 multihomes?

If it can do this simply, I can see where it'd be a cost effective
solution to implement... 8)

If it does do this will it require more than 32MB? Will there be a plug-in
card for more memory?

Okay so I do NOT want to pay for a Cisco 4XXX/7XXX series if I can stay
Lucent RABU... hehe, need a beta tester?
