Once upon a time jp@sugar.midcoast.com shaped the electrons to say...
>Can a PM3 (2t1 version) with a WAN card handle 3 T1s full bore?

Yes, I believe that it can. I've talked to people doing it.

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

It is a 486/66 - but it is also a different architecture. On the IRX the
CPU does almost everything, the PM-3 has a more distributed architecture so
the CPU doesn't have all of the concerns of driving the ports itself. So
it is a faster CPU, with actually less to do.
