The Anda equipment is used to bond TDM / SONET based circuits (DS1 / DS3 / OC3) and provide an Ethernet circuit across. The provider he is using would have an Anda 2200 on their side, and one at his end. (That is both ends of the bonding) His hand-off from the Anda would be RJ45 ethernet, directly into the 7200.
It seems that the provider is at fault here, based on the "bonding" to get 90Mbps (minus overhead) is done on their end. The anda boxes have multiple groups, so it is possible they do not have the DS3 circuits in the same group on the configuration of the Anda box, which would provide only the throughput of a single DS3, since only 1 would be mapped to his ethernet hand-off. Another thing to consider is that the Anda would need to be a 2212 (can you verify it is) to do the bonding, because only that box has 2 DS3 ports on the WAN side. It is also an option to configure this as "protection" where only 1 DS3 would be used at a time, and the other would be used if one were down. You can have the provider verify that configuration. Hope to help.
