Re: (ASCEND) TNT 672 modems, DS3 Channelized (fwd)



Once upon a time Elvis Presley shaped the electrons to say...

>goes down?  Same thing.

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.
