Trust me dude.. You don't want a lucent TNT. If your going all out for
an DS3 and you don't want to multiplex it then you will need something
that will take a DS3 which I don't believe TNT's do. Purchase an
AS5400HPX they will and work very well. Set yourself up with some
dialpeers etc and your good to go. Trust me. I have done it.
How can he trust you dude when you don't know anything about a TNT?
Here is one for under $8000 that is configured to handle a full DS3 with
hardware echo suppression and it can also take v.92 modem calls. They have
had a full DS3 card since at least 1998.

Your equivalent in Cisco is just under $42000.

I am not bashing Cisco. I am a fan and have configured many Cisco
routers. But I have a pair of TNTs as an * gateway (one for a hot spare)
and they cost a heck of a lot less than a pair of 5400s. Our dialup TNT
has been rock solid for many years other than a power supply failure. Now
if the TNT only ran IOS instead of TAOS....
