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...)
