This gear goes on the outside edge facing the user of the T1, basically
delivering a T1 through an ATM cloud.  All the telco has to provide is a PVC,
ideally (& perhaps required, I don't remember) CBR.  My understanding of the
original request was for T1 through an ATM cloud, so this seems to fit.  On
the other hand, I've never touched telco frame service so I could be off base
here.

Each T1 circuit emulation card has 4 RJ-45 jacks pinned as RJ-48c for a plain
old 4-wire T1.  They do the usual T1 framing (ESF...) & encoding (B8ZS...).
Is that what you were asking?
