Hey.. I was not dis'ing BellSouth (for a change), it was just funny
that they did not know they were being used. Yes, I know BS is a
very big company, I have even done a few sub-contract jobs for
them and have friends at BS. It's a bit like the Catholic Church:
it's a wonder something that big works so well, let alone at all
(that was a complement).
But after reviewing all of the wonderful techno-jargon going around,
I have come to the conclusion that the same thing applies towards
2 wire/4wire T1's as applied to many technowonders we work with.
My summary:
"Depending upon the LEC, Engineer for that circuit, equipment
used, and evaluation of facilities available for each circuit,
and available vendors hardware (PairGain/ADC...) at that moment,
as well as other variables, there exists a plethoria of options
for providing what various routers see as a standard ESF/B8ZS T1 at
their interface. What matters is they see it and it works."
