Each box runs this config. If your other facts are as rock-solid as your statement that a T3 line = 44 T1 lines, I have no reason to believe anything you say. As everybody who is in the ISP business should know, there are 24 DS0 channels (that's a 56k to you and me) in a DS1 (that's a T1 to you and me). As well, we all know that there are 28 DS1's in a DS3 (that's a T3 to you and me). Nowhere does 44 enter the equations. So, if we apply your statement to the realities, you've only overstated everything by a factor of 1.6 times, or we can just say that 63% of everything you say is true. -Kurt -- /* Kurt J.
