(ASCEND) TNT hardware configuration question




We would like to use TNT's as large dialin remote access boxes.  They
will simply be used to terminate ISDN/v.34/K56Flex calls, and give
them access to our network (either ethernet or FDDI..not sure yet).
So, we just want to load them up with a network card, PRI cards,
and K56 modem cards.  I was just wondering if anyone could
either confirm the below numbers, or correct them.  Thanks in advance!

(1) MAX TNT chassis					 16 slots
    - hybrid access module				- 1 slot
    - (2) PRI modules (accepts 16 PRI's)		- 2 slot
    - Network card (100baseT/FDDI/whatever)		- 1 slot
    - (6) 48port 56kbps modem module (288 modems)	-12 slots
 Max Capacity = 382 lines (using NFAS 1D/8PRI)
		Can have up to 288 analog users simultaneous with 94
		ISDN users.

Stack a second TNT (we don't use OSPF ;-)....
(1) MAX TNT chassis                                      16 slots
    - hybrid access module                              - 1 slot
    - (1) PRI module (accepts 8 PRI's)			- 1 slot
    - Network card (100baseT/FDDI/whatever)             - 1 slot
    - (6) 48port 56kbps modem module (288 modems)       -12 slots
 Max Capacity = 573 lines (using NFAS - 1D/8PRI)
		Have 576 modems, so all users could be analog.
		Have one extra slot for another network card, etc, etc.

Any input is greatly appreciated!
