Q. If some areas don't have PRI, can I use the T1 port of the PM3?
A. Yes, you can use the T1 port as fractional T1. You can also use the
PM3 as channelized T1/E1 for synchronous WAN routing application such
as Leased Line and Frame Relay. In the future release of the PM3,
Livingston will support dial-up signaling over channelized T1.

Only if you get a PRI to handle the calls. Channelized T1 dialin may be in
beta late the month, but it isn't ready yet.
