An Ascend P50 for example, has Bandwidth on Demand. As traffic reaches a
certain threshhold, the second B channel can be brought up.
As I understand this protocol, it's proprietary to Ascend.
I want a specific answer, does the PM3 support it, yes or no.
Whether the PM3 has a Livingston version of the same protocol is of
no help, because I must support my current Ascend customers.
The sentence "...has the same ability as the rest of our products."
suggests Ascend Bandwidth on Demand is not supported. Only Livingston's
version of Bandwidth on Demand is supported.
Before I spend $16k on a PM3, it must support Ascend Bandwidth on
demand and I need to get accurate information before I spend that
kind of money.
