The PM3 LIVES ON DUDE! :) I'm all about Livingson, and have refused to put 
the Asscend stuff in my data center. Seriously, Jake over at 
portmasters.com is doing some good stuff with the PM3. Now that we've got 
control of ComOS, it is just a matter of time before new ComOS releases 
start coming out for the unit. Several people have already rolled their 
own and added a few niggling fixes to the 3.9.1c1 code branch.

It would be great if we could find a way to use the PM3 as an inbound 
channel bank for Asterisk though. I have like 7 of them sitting in the 
back doing nothing..
