Do they claim the ATM OC3 module can do 80Mbps, or that it can do that in 
a 3640?  The 3640 isn't the top of the 3600 line anymore.  If they claim 
it'll do 80 in the 3640, I'd say you'd have to launch pigs from a cannon 
to see it in real life.  I've watched 3640s run out of gas under much 
lighter loads.
