I replaced mine with a 6504E. Used an old FlexWAN card to handle the PA-T3 card from the 7507 for our DS3 circuit. Was going to use a Sup32, but it doesn't work with the FlexWAN (only Enhanced FlexWAN) so went with the Sup720. Just as well, we have several Sup720's around the network... I run with a single supervisor in our chassis and keep a single hot spare on hand. Keeps initials hardware costs down and can go with a NBD smartnet contract rather than 4hour on everything. I keep 4 hour on one chassis "just in case". We don't have to have 100% uptime, so, this works out well for us.
