NM-1A-T3 module for combining T1s

Correct, the NM-1A-T3 module would be doing ATM, not mux'ing them out.

BUT, depending on your local telco, it might be worthwhile investigating this sort of solution, and changing up your T1 lines at the telco, rolling frame-relay T1s from remote sites into an ATM DS3 feed, and using the 3845 with the NM-1A-T3 solution. (ie. the telco takes care of terminating your Frame-Relay T1s into ATM and transporting over cell-relay back into your ATM DS3).

But, if you do want to straight PtP DS1 MUX'ed into a DS3, you're going to have to start looking at much more expensive hardware. I'd recomend a Cisco7200 with a PA-MC-T3. But since that combo is $35000 list price, it is a tad higher than the 3845 you've been quoted.

Cisco doesn't offer the same on anything less than the 7200 platform, (or equivilent, ie FLEXWAN in a 650x, or something else in the 7x00, etc). but it'll do exactly what you want.

If you want to stick with your existing hardware, but MUX out a DS3, then a basic M13 Mux (ie. Adtran MX2800) will do it, but then you're taking T1s out of the MUX as single copper lines back into what you use to terminate them now.

My company can provide you with the solution you need at much lower than cisco list price:

7206VXR,NPE-300 w/128 MEGS RAM, I/O-FE w/48FL @ $4800 7206VXR,NPE-400 w/256 MEGS RAM, I/O-2FE w/48FL @ $8000 PA-MC-T3 @ $5000

The above is USED with 90 days warranty, GUARANTEED ORIGINAL REAL CISCO. Choose either 7206VXR configuration. The NPE-400 will provide you with better performance and the I/O-2FE will give you two fast ethernet ports on the I/O card. I can provide a quote for a 7206VXR/NPE-G1, but it is kind of pricier, and I don't think you need it for a single DS3. I can also provide NEW equipment if you do not want USED.

CISCO3845 CISCO REFURBISHED SEALED @ $7800 [256 DRAM, 64 FLASH]

NM-1A-T3 USED @ $2500

Also 90 day warranty. Everything guaranteed to be REAL Cisco, not counterfeit like the stuff on Ebay.

Please let me know if you're interested.
