So if you look below at the cost difference between a package that will handle 45 simultaneous calls (five SIMMs of three DSPs each, each DSP can handle three simultaneous g729a streams) and one that'll handle the full 46 (not 48 because you've got one D channel on each PRI; it's unlikely that you'd want to sacrifice caller-ID), you wind up having to toss out one of the three-DSP SIMMs and replace it with a 5-DSP SIMM, with some waste. > Package which can handle 45 simultaneous calls: > CISCO2650 10/100 Modular Router $3,295 > NM-HDV-2T1-48 Dual-Port T1 Voice NM $9,800 > Total $13,095 $291 > > Package which can handle 46 simultaneous calls: > CISCO2650 10/100 Modular Router $3,295 > NM-HDV-2T1-48 Dual-Port T1 Voice NM $9,800 > PVDM-256K-20HD 5-DSP Module (15 calls) $4,000 > Total $17,095 $372 -Bill
