Yeah but the extra boxes and higher capacity LAN cost something, so it
drives the total cost up vs 1 box, but as I stated (or thought I did
anyway) if you are doing DS3 stuff you would want redundancy and other
features of distributed networking.

I personally would like to see it in a PCCARD form factor like the dual
DS1 card from odin technologies but somehow I think my ipaq would melt
trying to keep up if it were doing more than pushing bits :)

Would make a handy test tool to have a DS3 into a pda!
