Hi,

I'm ordering a DS3 to connect two POPs, and I'll have a PA-T3 on each
end...

It's a bit off-topic, but does anyone have any recommendations (including
the why's) on whether I should order this framed or unframed? I see the
PA-T3 seems to support either mode of operation, but there are no
explanations as to what the advantages/disadvantages of unframed/c-bit/m13
modes of operation are. Do I lose alarm functionality if I go
unframed? If I go framed is there a preference for either c-bit or m13?

And if anyone has pointers to a good doc detailing the various framing
types and all that would be appreciated...

Thanks,

Charles
