PRI PRI PRI PRI PRI PRI. I see NO reason CT1 would EVER be preferred if
cost and availability weren't issues:)

- PRI gives you 64k data channels
(CT1 gives you 56k data channels)
- PRI allows full B channel ISDN (64k B channels)
- PRI often lets you dial in and out
- PRI lines can be much more easily debugged since they have a dedicated
data channel ("D" channel) for call completition and tear down.
- The PM3 supports Calling-Line-Id and Called-Line-Id (caller id things) on
PRI's and not on CT1's "yet"
- I believe PRI's always offer caller id, whereas it is harder and sometimes
impossible and more costly to get your telco to give it to you on CT1's

There's probably more reasons I can't think of right now :)
