Sure. 2 ways.

1. Get a pm2e with a BRI card and bond up to 15 BRI's together into a PM3.
Only disadvantage is no stac compression. You can use proprietary EQL
(round robin) OR MPPP.

2. Get some other brand unit that allows multiple bri's into it like the
(shudder) Ascend Max 1800, or the (shudder even harder) 3Com Netserver 8i.

Id go with option 1. Why? Duh... well we sell em for 1. ;-). 2. we KNOW
this works. 3. Its a Livingston Product. 4. We KNOW it works. 5. IT REALLY
DOES WORK. Finally, Livingston will be a lot happier to help support it if
its Livingston hardware on both ends.

Now I sure wish they had a way to bond multiple OR-U's!! Hint Hint.

Oh and there IS one other final EXPENSIVE way to do it. Get the old Atlas
Adtran 800 switch and the bri card, turn the bri's into PRI's and feed it
into an empty pm 3 chassis.
