Same here, and I can't blame them. The copper's in place, and takes
up the same resources at the switch whether full or frac. Besides, when
a customer wants to up the bandwidth ASAP, leaving the telco out of it
is best!

Absolutely. All T1 CSU/DSU's I've seen allow this. I've done it myself
of Motorola FT100S and Adtran TSU LT's. Works like a charm. I believe the
PM3 CSU (both built-in and card) will allow this; PMVision (nee Amber)
has provisions for Frac T - just set the number of 64K channels and there
you are.
