[c-nsp] High Density T1 Question

[Matthew Crocker]

I have a Seranoa WANPort,  great 1U box,  it takes 12 x DS3 (HDLC,  
PPP or FR) and converts them into 336 VLANs on a GigE.  The GigE goes  
into a 7206 NPE-G1 and each VLAN gets an interface on the router.    
Unfortunately Seranoa doesn't exist anymore and they sold the product  
to White Rock (VLX300).  White Rock recently sold to Turin Networks.   
I think someone said last month that the VLX300 was actually sold to  
Adtran recently.

It is a nice system for providing 'Ethernet Everywhere'. I use it to  
convert my legacy T1s onto my Transparent LAN service.  Great Idea,  
too bad they never sold enough to keep the business going.

I'm also using a Zhone MALC 723,  4U device, 23" wide, NEBS compliant  
that can terminate 240 DS1s (EFM, PPP, ATM) into GigE.  And the  
Paradyne IPD12000E (now Zhone IPD12000E) that can terminate 288 DS1s  
(EFM/Net2Net) in a chassis for Ethernet bridging over DS1

It is too bad the the Cisco channelized OC-3/12 interfaces are so  
insanely expensive.
