(ASCEND) Max 6000

[Andy Dills <andy@xecu.net>]

We're in the process of purchasing a rival ISP and we will need to greatly
expand our number of dialup ports, to the tune of 9 PRIs. 

We like the Ascend MAX family, and would like to go with the 6000's. 
However, I really would like to hear people's experiences with this unit,
specifically with regards to how it handles when there are 92 sessions    
going (I'm not a fan of NFAS), while running OSPF and stacking.

I'd love to be able to run it in this configuration, but I'm afraid that
instead of purchasing 3 6096's (and having 3 free PRI ports on the last   
max), I should buy 1 6096, 2 6048s, and 3 8-port modem cards (thus 
allowing me to redistribute the cards such that each box had 72 ports in  
it.) I _know_ it will handle 72 concurrent sessions, but will it handle   
92?                  

Thanks in advance,       
Andy
