Cisco 3845 Module limitations for WIC-1SHDSL-V3..

Hello All,

I am thinking to implement a new network based on Cisco3845. For connecting our remote branches I am thinking to use G.HDSL therefore our selection will be WIC-1SHDSL-V3 module. Future expansions in mind ( 15 branches in 2 or 3 years time) I read the maximum Number of G.SHDSL WICs is "12" for 3845 in WIC-1SHDSL-V3's datasheet.

But after I check the 3845's datasheet

I saw that Number of High-Speed WIC (HWIC) Slots supported for this module was 4. My question is can we use this (WIC-1SHDSL-V3) module in the NM, NME, NME-X, NMD etc slots? By adding these supported Network Module Slots I am getting the total of 12.

If not maybe I can go to Frame Relay to support these multiple branches, geographically diversed locations.. TIA for your comments.
