Right, but I had to tell the PRI card in the TC box to assign channels
to ports statically, because the default was first call, first modem,
no matter what channel it's on. I didn't know if the PM3 could be
configured this way, since the PM3 doesn't have a stupid PRI card
(that you can't telnet to, but have to hook up a terminal to if you want
to re-configure it, or find out the status of a PRI... Of course you
can do it with the TCM software, but when you don't have a Windows machine,
and don't want to shell out the extra cash for the Solaris version...)
