I bet they tell you they'll still respect you in the morning too...
>Question. Would the pm3 justify the price difference? Would the

>borderline now). How can I justify it to the check signers?
Double, or more, the price. I'd love to tell you yes - but if you
are using it for analog calls then you also have to consider the phone
network and the users lines. While having a digital trunk would improve
the line quality to your POP, it won't help with the rest of the link.
If the copper you have now is really bad, then maybe. I can't see the
justification for PRI unless you plan to offer ISDN. But you might justify
Channelized-T1 when it is offered because of:
Better line quality.
56K upgrade.
Lower power consumption.
Remote management of modems.
Overall easier configuration and operation.
Probably the strongest points would be 56K and management.
>RTFM question. Would this give me ISDN ability from the stock PM3?
Yes. In fact, ISDN is part of the motherboard. It is the analog modems
that are optional.
