Richey,

I believe the remote T1 loopback features are only for CSU/DSU.  The
trouble comes when you want to loop it back down - it seems that the
software in the router does not have the right loop-down codes.  I
have successfully looped up a remote CSU/DSU but have never been able
to drop it without access to the CSU/DSU that I looped and manually
clearing it (or inserting a T-BIRD and sending the right loop-down
code).

If anyone else has experience in getting this to work, I would be
interested to hear.
