We use quite number of PM3s here in Japan and we do not consider them as
stable ones nor reliable ones YET. Livingston has been working very hard
for better connectivity and stability at the moment and I believe that
they will release a new version of ComOS.

Yes we have installed 56k-flex digital modem card but the connectivity
with the existing V34 modem users has deteriorated. And also for
56k-flex users they will not be able to achieve solid 56k connection yet.
(cannot be helped...analog modems)

According to our experience with PM3s so far, PM3t has not matured yet,
however I trust the Livingston and they will do it soon.

If you are about to replace your good old PM2s with new PM3s, do a
through test beforehand.

Good luck.
