There can be quite a few slips. to put it less concretely than 'it will not
work' - it MAY work, but it may not be very reliable or usable, and such a
configuration was never intended to be used. User beware.

Now this is confusing - I've worked with people doing PTP with IRX units
and CSU/DSUs where clock was coming from the telco and BOTH CSU/DSUs were
set to 'network' for clock. It worked, and the units were seeing a clock.
Where the heck did it come from, if not the telco?
