The VLX300 by White Rock (WANPort by Seranoa) looks like it will do what I
need (it is a bit pricy at $20k for the base box), but it takes a
channelized T3, I get T1s. A box that would take the T1s, backhaul them
over fibre and deliver from fibre to the VLX300 in DS3 form, all in a
1U format and cheap.
