Do you plan to support ISDN off the PM2's? If so, there are alot of
features that it cannot handle that most users will want. (the pm3
however, can)
If you dont plan to support ISDN off the PM2, then it is still cheaper
(even at business rates on POTS lines) to feed your modems with POTS
instead of BRI's (in nm that is)

-| I can put BRI #'s on a rotor until I have enough usage to justify a PRI.
Sure, you can do this with POTS still too. I'm wondering (since your in
new mexico) what all this hoopla about feeding BRI's into the PM2 is
about. You have to remember that the PM2 cant take ANY type of telco input
by itself. It's up to you what you hook up to it (isdn modems, v.34, 1200
baud, whatever) and how you feed those devices.

-| Sorry for my ranting
I know what you mean about not wanting to purchase PM3s to support a
handful of customers. We still run some PM2E-30's and some PM2-25's with
_great_ success. We also have gone with the pm3 in order to accmodate the
digital market (at a much higher cost) -- but i fail to see what you are
ranting about? Lucent does not limit you feeding BRI's into the PM2
anymore now then they ever have in the past???
