PM3's were pretty solid. PM4's, not so much. They were often problematic requiring periodic reboots of the entire chassis to keep them sane even right up through the last firmware release until Lucent killed them off in favor of their newly acquired Ascend equipment. The team that designed them were good guys. We used to work directly with them on issues and get early access to beta releases of new firmware for the PM's, including new cutting edge protocols such as K56Flex and later V.90. :)

The PMs were fantastic. 

PM3's were pretty good as well. 2 PRIs or T1s.. 48 56k digital modems, + ISDN support.. :)
