We're looking to get glass between three buildings, and looking closely at
the 15216 (passive WDM, ie, a prism).

A couple of rambling questions, that perhaps folks here have experience
with.

First, has anyone had experience with ITU Grid Optic GBICs? Do they even
exist?

Second, does anyone know of a 'back-box' that will take standard 1310 or
1550 nm signal, and 'convert' it to an ITU grid?

Any pointers, help, or a kick in arse would be appreciated.
