I'm a provider in new mexico and have been researching these as well. From
discussing it with people on the list in the past (check the archives)
there are people HAPPILY running it. So far no one has reported any weird
problems other then configuration issues that were easily fixed. We are
planning on getting one. The nice thing about the BRI->PRI is that you
dont even have to popular the whole PRI if you dont want to. You just want
to order 4 BRI? Order 1 octal card? You dont have to have enough BRI's to
fill a whole PRI at once.
