It's a digital T-1 that supports 24 voice channels, it's D4 framing with

I shouldn't have to ask your company if they're advertising the feature.
It's all over your web page and in your FAQs. Why do they ship the
digital modems? I understand you might have been screaming endlessly on
this list and at tradeshows, BUT I DON'T GO TO TRADE SHOWS OR READ THIS
EMAIL LIST UNTIL NOW!!!!! :) To quote the webpage:

Through the use of a dynamic WAN switching architecture, the PortMaster 3
can automatically switch between ISDN and analog modem calls. A single
phone line can access all dial-up WAN services across a single or multiple
incoming PRI channels. The PortMaster 3 combines these features with WAN
support for Frame Relay and synchronous leased lines, including
channelized T1 or E1 signalling, to offer the most complete remote access
solution for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and enterprise networks.
OK...let's start over.
I bought a PM3 with two T-1 ports and 24 digital modems (3x8). At this
point, is there any way I can provide dialin services from run of the mill
analog modems (USR Sportsters, whatever) to the Portmaster-3.
Thanks,
Justin
