OOOPS! I did forget that.
Brandon, the above price per port is for a PM3 that can do a total of
46 analog OR ISDN connections!!!! So for the difference in price per port
between your original setup and the PM3 you have BOTH internal fully
digital modems AND ISDN!
For ISDN only...hmmm...where's MY calculator...
My best guess is that a two (2) PRI box with ZERO modems will sell to
ISPs for around $6000, or for the 46 B channels about $118 per B channel!
