No retribution necessary... I agree also... if you can't convince your
customers of the merits of K56Flex, then it's your duty to provide X2,
that's if it is within your budgetary constraints.

Bay 5399 (5339?) whatever hehe, it's posted, can carry both.

But telco switching can NOT identify the protocol so, you'd have to have
separate pools for X2 and K56Flex.
