PM3's were pretty solid. PM4's, not so much. They were often problematic requiring periodic reboots of the entire 
chassis to keep them sane even right up through the last firmware release until Lucent killed them off in favor of 
their newly acquired Ascend equipment. The team that designed them were good guys. We used to work directly with them 
on issues and get early access to beta releases of new firmware for the PM's, including new cutting edge protocols such 
as K56Flex and later V.90. :)

The PMs were fantastic. 

PM3's were pretty good as well. 2 PRIs or T1s.. 48 56k digital modems, + ISDN support.. :)

I still have a soft spot for the Portmasters :-). We had rows of PM2's 
with US robotics 33.6K sportster modems attached on 8mm tape racks.
Back when a town of 40K people could all connect through 2XT1's and 
everyone was happy.
