You mean the platform that I have almost 30 cities running on- (just
added a new city) The one we were considering buying BRI cards for-
(USW finally is offering ISDN in New Mexico albeit at a high rates)
Which was my purpose for joining this list- (Wanted to see others
comments)

They were discontinuing the line... Well I'm glad I finally joined the list.

For little towns like Hobbs, New Mexico I only have need for less than
half a T1 of modem lines. Definitely not cost effective for a PM3 with
trunked service in New Mexico. The same With BRI service compared to
PRI service. I can put BRI #'s on a rotor until I have enough usage to
justify a PRI.

They had a great upgrade path, without cutting out the low end market.'
