PM3's were pretty solid. PM4's, not so much. They were often problematic re=
quiring 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 acce=
