Wayne,
I was told that although it is possible to get a trunk-side T1, which
is all digital, the normal case is that the line is provided from the
line side of a central office as 24 analog lines to a channel bank.
This has to do with tariffing. All I'm saying is that it throws some
doubt as to what percentage of channelized T1s will be able to handle
56K. Maybe there's some network folks out there who could shed some
light on this?
Fine, USR has been shipping PRI for a year. Ascend has had it since
day one, which has been about 3 years.
Yes, I've heard reports of bugs in Ascend's products. Also in USR's,
Cisco's, etc. And Ascend's products have also won awards, just like
USR's have.
Good investing to you too.
