Nope, I can't put you at ease. I love my PM2Es too. But the PM3 is not
like the PM2Es because of the "better" modem cards. I wish I had my
pe-upgrade cards back to test a unit with to be sure.

I have been motivated to open a ticked on this tomorrow. I sure hope they
will do something soon. We didn't "upgrade" to PM3's to give our customers
slower connections and frequent hang-ups. And the ",,," does not help in
most cases.
