As I said, it will handle 4 PRI, just be wary that if all 4 PRI get hit
with calls at the same time, *and* they all start downloading the latest
version of Netscape or Explorer - then you'll see why the MAX6000 was
developed.

And to reduce the potential of complaints at such peak periods many customers
run with just 3 PRI per box. As Erols have commented - they are pretty much
always at peak during the day, so 3 PRI is a better use of the box.
