[c-nsp] 7500 for DSL aggregation - RSP memory error?

[Walter Keen]

Yes, I believe it was you.  We are trying to migrate from a 7200 to a 
7500 to gain route processor redundancy.  Our traffic is typically 
20mbit peak from this site between 2 atm ds3's.  Using radius, pppoa, 
and some dsl subs are behind NAT, but we're slowly weeding them out into 
having a typical dsl connection with a public ip.  Probably about 1k 
subscribers, and in the next year or two we'll probably be moving them 
to an ethernet-based handoff from the carriers to us.
