For the 7200, look at the PA-T3/PA-2T3 boards (one or two T3 45Mbit
ports).

On the PA itself, it's labeled "DS3 port adaptor", but DS3 = T3.

We use a couple of them, and they work quite well. The only thing that's
better in the Kentroxes is that they can do E3 and T3, whatever you need.
But monitoring is much better on the PAs.

It's a pity that there is no such NM for the 36xx series. But that's
marketing, obviously - if the 3660 is a big success (and it has enough
horsepower to drive a few NM-E3s - after all, the NM-1Hssi exists) it
will cut into 7200 sales. I think this sucks, but so do many marketing-
driven decisions.
