Once upon a time webmaster@triplet.net shaped the electrons to say...
> It appears that with Channelized T1 we get 24 lines for about the same
>price, why would we want to go with PRI which only gives us 23 lines? We
>have zero ISDN users so the cut back to 56K is not important to us.

1. Many people report higher connect speeds over PRI than over CT1.
2. PRI allows dialout - CT1 does not yet.
3. PRI will provice DNIS (Caller-Id) - not yet on CT1.
4. You could start to offer ISDN on the same number if you wanted to.

> Also, if we go with Channelized T1 can we get 48 lines into a PM3-2T or
>only 46 like the web pages say?

Yes, 2 CT1s will give you 48 lines.
