Re: (ASCEND) TNT multishelf setups

[Jason Nealis <nealis@rcn.com>]

You don't have to utilize multi-shelf boxes now to terminate a DS3's 
worth of calls, They now have single height CSM3 modem cards which
allow you to terminate 672 DS0's in one single chassis TNT. 

Also, along with the new modem cards they have digital hdlc drivers 
on the modem card so you don't need an HDLC card. (Although I've heard
if you do have a high amount of ISDN traffic you may want to consider
putting in a separate HDLC card.)
