Once upon a time Patrick J. Chicas shaped the electrons to say...
>-Overall Stability of the box. My guess is that the box is as stable
> as the other Livingston products?

It is rather new so the time in use is low. But with the latest releases
(it is in beta so releases change as things get added and tweaked) it is
stable.

>-Digital modem interop with the myrad of V.34 modems on the market.
> We have had bad experiences with the Xylogics and Ascend, Rockwell
> chipped boxes.

The code was subjected to a full test suite for standards compliance. More
extensive testing will be done on real world issues - not all modems do as
well for standards compliance.

>-BRI call B-channel bonding within a chasis or PRI.

The PM-3 is a PRI unit, no BRI. Yes it can do MP with multiple B channels.

>-BRI call B-channel bonding across chassis.

We have MCPPP - MultiChassis MP - running now. I believe it will be in the
PM-3 at FCS.

>-Can the box handle a channelized T-1 connect instead of PRI?

Not yet. That will be a software upgrade in early 1997.
