Marty -------- I was told recently by cisco that a CSC/3 processor could support 16 lines sending data flat out at 38.4 Kbps (8 lines for a CSC/2). I was also told that the limit is less for incoming data at 38.4 Kbps. This isn't a lot. Cisco lets the modem flow control the terminal server, but not vice-versa, so incoming characters could get dropped. If you connect a hundred lines to an ASM/3, it wouldn't be very hard to overrun it.
