That's good news indeed - and it seems to be some new development instead
of just adapting the PA-E3/PA-T3 to the 36xx family.

... plus the number of modules that are supported per chassis are severely 
limited.  Only one NM-1T3/E3 supported per chassis except for the 3745 
(which supports two).

Makes one wonder, though, what's happening behind the scenes - the
NM-1HSSI is fully supported in the 3620, 3640 (max. 3 NMs) and 3660 
(max. 5 NM-1HSSI per box), and should not have any significantly 
different bandwidth impact than the NM-1T3/E3s...

Marketing games again?
