[c-nsp] Cisco ISR T3

[John Neiberger]

This is something I've never understood. Why do devices that can
process Fast Ethernet without even blinking have such a problem with
DS3? In my mind, a router that can handle multiple FE ports or even a
single GE port should have no problem running an OC-3.  ;-)

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work that way.
