PA-A3

Even though it says it will handle 4,095 VCs, funny things start
to happen when we exceed 3,900 or so.  The majority of these are
RBE, with some management VCs and PPPOE thrown in.

We have another location that has an NPE-G1 and two OC3s with 3,714
and 2,643 VCs on them.  Needless to say, I like that one better :)
CPU on the NPE-G1 averages about 38% and the NPE-300 stays around
70-75%.
