Once upon a time Jeremy Malli shaped the electrons to say...

The AS5800 can handle 2 T3s, and Cisco reps told me it won't scale past
that. It is also much larger than the PM-4 so the rack density isn't really
better. The PM-4 can do 1 T3 today, the next phase is supposed to be
3T3s. And the only limitation is the modems, you could do 2, maybe 3, T3s
*per slot* based on backplane capacity.
