Unless you have fancy DS3 test set, only way to find out is start using it.  We saw bunch of errors but telco swore up and down that line was clear.  This list clued me into possible hot circuit.  Stuck a attenuator in the Rx side and error disappeared.  We were using an old 7500 series DS3 card.  Newer cards may be more tolerant.  We no longer have any DS3s other than muxed T1 and I haven't deployed any at customer sites in 5 years so I don't know how newer cards handle it.
