I have never heard complaints about the Cascades for T-1 termination
except where they are terminating too many sessions in the Cascades and
the router couldn't handle that many sessions. This was a bigger problem 
before the 7500 series routers came out and more importantly the RSP4s. 

Fortunately UUNet doesn't terminate T3s into Cascades or ATM switches 
(yet...)

the engineer gave it to you straight. They use cascades reduce the per
port costs on the cisco. Cisco recently added channellized T3s, but this
is years after UUNET made their design decisions. I know htis because I
heard it from the person who did hte design at UUNET.
