CT1 --> Box A <-- wire/fiber --> Box B <-- T1 --> PM3
In other words I want to take a CT1 at one place and use a T1 to
carry the phone calls to a PM3 somewhere else.
Why? Imagine a LATA or telco boundary between Box A and Box B.
One of my users has a house that straddles the boundary betweeen two
telcos' territories; he has a phone line from one telco at one end of
his house and a line from a different telco at the other end.
One of my POPs is backed up against a LATA boundary; same telco on
each side, but they can't carry calls across the boundary. They
hinted that I probably can, but I don't know how.
I could of course do this:
CT1 --> PM3 <-- Ethernet --> router <-- T1 --> PM3
LATA 1 | LATA 2
with the LATA boundary splitting the Ethernet.
Since the demarks are the T1 jacks, presumably it's legal to do this:
CT1 --> PM3 <-- long cat5 cable ---><-- T1 --> PM3
LATA 1 | LATA 2
or this:
CT1 --><-- long cat5 cable ---> PM3 <-- T1 --> PM3
LATA 1 | LATA 2
In this last case I'm a long distance telco. When the telco hinted
that I could carry calls across the boundary, they also hinted that
would make me a telco and qualify me for wholesale pricing. Then they
clammed up, like they'd said something they shouldn't have.
