If you want to connect the remote site to your host site, and you have just
1 incoming t1 at the remote site, you can use the 2nd port of the pm3 to
feed it back to the main site. If you have 2 incoming t1's, and a third for
your backhaul, youll need a router and csu/dsu.

It depends where you get the pm3 from. Did you buy the pm3 already?
