Acually we used it for up to 64 ports and generally had no difficulty with RAS
on NT... Minimal problems other that the poor accounting features of RAS and
Event Viewer.

The Only reason we went with a USR Total Control Chassis is because the "Extra
Features" we needed for accounting and setting up lines on a per accounting
basis.
