The card Walter mentioned is the C7200-JC-PA.

It works with the NPE-G1 or G2 and it looks like the PA-MC-T3 is listed
a supported adapter in it. This basically replaces your I/O card (or
blank if you have always had a G1/G2 CPU in there) with a dedicated port
adapter slot for a single high-bandwidth port adapter. One thing that
looks like it is conspicuously absent is support for any of the GigE
cards in the jacket, the only supported ones are the VAM2/VAM2+, 2 port
FastEthernet, and various 1/2 port T3/E3/SONET/ATM cards and the 8 port
T1 card.

I think there was a supportable way of adding another module via the IO
slot using a special card in the IO slot that provides you with a PA
slot that doesn't count towards the BW points of the other busses if I
remember correctly.

I have a situation on a 7206VXR w/ a NPE-G1 where I need to add a MC
DS3 module. The box already has 4 PA-A3-OC3SMI PAs. I'd like to add
a PA-MC-T3 to the box as well. I know that the OC3 PAs max the
bandwidth points out for each PCI bus. However the OC3s are very
lightly loaded. Looking back at the graphs I don't see any of the 4
peaking over 5Mbps. That may seem surprising considering that there
are nearly 1000 PVCs configured on those 4 OCs for DSL customers; the
DSLAMs are very low-end, can only do basic ADSL, and the uplinks
restrictthe average access speeds to extremely low levels.
So my question is what happens when I exceed the bandwidth points on a
7200 where I know that bandwidth from the existing PAs won't ever be a
problem? The box as a whole peaks at around 12-15Mbps on its uplinks.
That G1 is truly bored, averaging below 10% utilization. I know that
IOS will bitch about it on boot but it will still continue to work
won't it? Any other side effects (other than TAC not liking it if
they see it until I demonstrate with the graphs that it's not a problem)?
Thanks
