We use a DMS10, but have a POP set up in a location served by a DMS100, so we use T1PRI there. The highest connect speed I've seen on the 10 was 42000, and it was very unreliable. The usual is 40000. We just upgraded to the generic release that allows ISDN BRI, and I've been told that the PRI feature will be available around July-Sept of 98. That's gonna be nice, although I still would like to vent my spleen at USR and Rockwell for pushing a technology that is flakey at best.
