Can a PM3 (2t1 version) with a WAN card handle 3 T1s full bore?
(ISP use) Or should I keep it to just 2 T1s if I demand performance.
Any testimonials or other emperically determined knowledge?

My IRX with 16mb couldn't handle the packet load of 1 T1 at 1/2 capacity,
and 1 FR T1 at half capacity. Bigtime packet loss. We've bought a PM3 to
replace it.

I know the PM3 has a much faster processor 486-66 versus 386-33 (right?),
but it also has a less lean ComOS.
