Not sure how things are in your market, but up here in the land of the
midnight sun, our telco doesn't have a tariffed rate for T1 Channelized
yet, (and don't even ask about ISDN, PRI or BRI :)), so I think I'll just
sit on the fence till The Powers That Be bless one or the other standard,
then pick the solution that seems most technically valid based on other
points. I only have to fight with the X2 vs 56Kflex problem for the next
6 months, maybe, but I have to deal with the equiptment I decide to go
with for the next 3-5 yrs.

Just my .02$ + GST
