Additional rules, perhaps, Lucent DSPs must be shipped to a non-beta site.

I'll put in my 'bet' of 2 lbs of coffee from Hawaii on the 6th of
August...for a non-Beta site getting their modems...

Hmm, how about the date a non-beta site gets it up operational and
recieves a customer calling in at higher than 46Kbps?

I'll say the 11th of August...

NFAS?? == the second Tuesday of next week... ;) I don't actually expect
this anytime soon from the sound of what they want to actually implement,
like STAC and a T1/E1 interface card.....

Whoa! just had a flash... STAC is a motherboard card... so I could stick
the T1/E1 card into the spare slot and use that for FR! No need for
another Router/DSU/CSU....Now if only they made a switched Hub card????
