[c-nsp] bonded T1s into 7206VXR

[MADMAN]

   Your customer is correct and with the new MOE serivces most carriers 
offer the 5M pipe may well be less expensive.

   You have more simplicity and less overhead with the 5M connection 
though the bonded T1s do give you some redundancy in the event of a 
circuit failure(s).
