In most cases we will. However, in some areas, we sell more fast packet
services to customers (ATM, Frame), and have many legacy copper T1s. As
some of you may know, the blizzard card (6CT3-SMB) lists at $165,000, second
only to the as yet unreleased OC192 cards. I'd like to phase out my 75xxs
altogether eventually, however, T1 loops will continue to sell. Any
recommendations on a M13 Mux?
