A couple of folks were bemoaning similar facts as well over the last few
days.  We really want a piece of hardware that 'just works' for single
PRI installations.  Equipment that you can put in place and forget
about for years -- alot like the thousands (millions?) of Cisco 25xx
gear that's hanging out and still plugging along.

I'd *really* like modular IOS, so that we can load up on VoIP fetures, 
but drop unneeded IP routing fetures.  Does the telco-train work towards
this direction?  In the absence of a modular IOS, a VoIP train might be
of use...
