If you're looking at supporting 60 modems in a new unit, then the 4060 is
the best way to go. If you're upgrading the existing unit, then you may
find a price difference if you go from DM-12 to series56-16 versus going
the series56-12....all else being equal. Also bear in mind that you would
have 4 spare DSPs if you went the 4x16 way....just incase any went bad....

The 4060 is being shipped with 16mod series 56 cards....

As always, I recommend contacting your local reseller (specifically for
our International customers)...
