I do think though that this should be addressed, specifically the cable
length, particularly inlight of the fact that folks using CT-1 may have
line side terminated trunks (like me) and perhaps the cable length may
bear into some of the performance problems we're all experiencing (well
some of us).
At any rate, I'm in the process of upgrading to trunk side terminated
lines!
My $.02 worth. (I'm not smart enought yet to give .09 ;-)
