series can support PVDM chips directly on the motherboard, which means the 4
built-in WIC slots can also function as VWIC slots. On the 3700 series,
you have to use a NM-HDV type of netmodule to get DSPs into the
chassis. This is important because on the 3845, you only have to buy the
router (w/ voice package) and the VWIC cards. On the 3745, you'd have to
buy the netmodule cards, as well. This actually makes the 3845 come out a
bit cheaper. According to this page, the 3700 series is EOL after Mar 7,
2007:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

3700 vs 3800 for SRST router<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Just wondering what the main difference between the 3700 and
3800 series routers are. We're looking for a SRST device that will also have
some T1 trunks and perhaps some analog FXO ports as well. I know that the
different models within each series have different maximum supported devices,
it's likely I'll either get a 3845 or 3745 in order to get the SRST density I
need.</FONT></DIV>
