In my experience if you have a choice - stay away from the muxes. We had 30 locations with NRS telco lines and muxes with multiple resets being required each week. Since, we have moved to 100% routers on Frame lines. Down time is less than 1% of what it was with the Muxes. We also have much more control over the communication and with IP addressing on the routers, we can monitor with WhatsUp and other software. The Frame circuits are a bit more expensive per month, but the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages. You also have to have one mux on each end of your circuit, no spoke/hub connectivity.
By the way, if you decide to use muxes, we have many 8/16/32 port Multitech muxes. Contact me off the group and we can work out a good deal.
