Sorry, misunderstood.
Hmmmm... Layer 1? Physical? Not sure. The layer 2 stuff is covered
to some detail in _Digital_Telephony_, which alas, I can't give a cite
for right now, as it's at home. Mail me privately, and I'll be glad
to.
Also, the readers of that NG are likely to have other references to
hand; many work for IXC's, LEC's and switch mfr's.
