Re: (ASCEND) TNT 672 modems, DS3 Channelized (fwd)
Once upon a time Elvis Presley shaped the electrons to say...

T3/DS3 lines are less likely to go down - and you have an entirely
different level of support for them than the standard T1/DS1 lines when
they do.
Rack space is *critical* for many users. The cost of rack space can more
than make a difference. I was talking to a major networking company out
in Cambridge the other day, and they are looking at higher density boxes
to replace racks and racks of 4000/PM-3 style product. They need to grow
but at out of room. And a higher density box would allow them to use less
space for more modems, and should be easier to manage.
If you only have the one box - maybe that's too much of a risk. But when
you have thousands of ports, it makes good sense.
