>>Maybe someone can explain to me why a Channelized Frame
Relay DS3 card is so important. I'm missing something here... If
ASND doesn't have this card, can they not get around it
temporarily ?<<

The DS3 CFR card will switch, on each port, separate
DS-1's (T1)in to any broadband circuit. Port density is
the big key here.

For example, I have 28 separate customers paying me for
Fractional T1 frame service, with a min. CIR (committed
information rate) of 768K but can burst up to 1.5Meg.
My customers are muxed up to a DS3 port (45Meg)then to
the internet (Mae East). Frame being what it is I can sell up to
another 28 separate Frac T1's with a CIR of 768 but again,
allowing a burst up to T1.5Meg.

The nutshell: I can have 56 customers with at least 768K each
and depending on how they pay me I can allow them to burst up
providing traffic/usage allows. (Max 28 @ 1.5Meg)

This is only per port, more ports....well...less capital expense
for price per port on the switch for the carrier. I've never seen a better CFR/UFR card then on the NN 36170. Run these over ATM DS3 and
your rockin'. (professionally speaking.
BTW, why is this card so important, if your redundency is
not engineered correctly and the card fails, think of the
bandwidth you just dropped.

Maybe someone can comment on the number of ports the card
supports for us. I see mostly 3/4 ports for CFR and 8 ports
for UFR.
