Hi Group,

I'm trying to reorganise my lab in order to work with InternetworkExpert
Labs.
They seem to utilise a lot of serial/frame-relay links and i have need to
build new Frame-relay switch with 8 serial interfaces.

I was thinking to use 2x WIC-2T and 1x NM-4A/S card in a signle Cisco2620
router, when read the following about 2T cards on cisco.com:

Synchronous support with a maximum speed of 2.048 Mbps per port.

   -

   Supports one port at 8 Mbps when used in NM-1FE1R2W, NM-1FE2W,
   NM-2FE2W, or
NM-2W<http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps274/products_tech_note
09186a00800b1155.shtml>,
   or Cisco 2600 chassis WIC slots. All other WIC ports on that network
module
   or Cisco 2600 chassis must not be used.
   -

   Supports two ports at 4 Mbps each when used in NM-1FE1R2W, NM-1FE2W,
   NM-2FE2W, or
NM-2W<http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps274/products_tech_note
09186a00800b1155.shtml>,
   or Cisco 2600 chassis WIC slots. All other WIC ports on that network
module
   or Cisco 2600 chassis must not be used.
   -

   Supports 8 Mbps on all ports simultaneously on 2691, 3725, and 3745.
   No restrictions. Maximum six ports at 8 Mbps each

As I'm about to order those two WIC-2T cards, could anyone confirm that a
combination of two WIC-2T cards is supported? I'm not sure the note above is
valid only when the interfaces are run at 4 or 8mbit/s or it is a general
limitation.

thanks for your help!
