Pro's to the T1 card:
1. Its cheaper than a separate tsu and router
2. Built in csu/dsu
3. Fits in that extra slot in your pm 3
4. Seprate processor - so keeping up shouldnt be an issue.

Cons:
1. You MUST run 3.8 beta code
2. You can ONLY put 1 wan card in a pm 3
3. You cannot use it to feed modems in a pm 3 in cases where you bought
only the 1T model
4. If the pm 3 power dies, your connection to the backbone (assuming that
is what you use it for) is dead too until you get a replacement PM 3.

Im sure there are more but these are the things I think of to tell my
customers who are debating the purchase of the wan card.
