UGH!

Note that ADSUs do NOT fully implement rate shaping and have interesting buffering constraints. This can cause interesting problems.

The ADSU <> DS3 solution isn't a bad one if you are going to pull less than about 15Mbps through the line.

That is about right, if Kentrox has not further developed this box since I last worked on the PacBell NAP project. If you need full rate DS-3 ATM, gulp hard and go for the cisco AIP interface. You might want to send a note to ca-nap@pacbell.com and ask current NAP members if they have an old Kentrox ADSU lying around after a cisco AIP upgrade. You can start with that and upgrade later if you need to. --Kent
