size=2>I partially disagree. A lot of new PRIs are provisioned over some
sort of fiber mux in many areas these days that at least gets it close, if not
completely run up to, the demarc point. This provides a different path
over what many 1MBs are still provisioned over. Also many telco's
provision 1MBs from different equipment in the CO than PRIs. I have
experienced many situations where T1s are dropped but analog lines remain in
service. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=515532915-30042007><FONT face=Tahoma
size=2>That being said, I've also seen my share of the opposite where everything
(including fiber lines) are taken out by accident. A better bet is to talk
to your carrier about some kind of path diversity for your existing PRIs, or if
unavailable from a single carrier, seek a second PRI from a different carrier
that may be able to offer it. This all typically costs money or time, as a
second carrier/CLEC by default will tend to provision your PRIs over the same
loop entrance as the ILEC for the area and will want to charge additional
install $ for different loop arrangements.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

current T1s are brought in from the CO, and then see what alternatives paths (T1
or analog) might exist. Good luck.</FONT></SPAN></DIV><BR>

couple of analog lines for 911 service which will go into the same router and be
serviced by the same local telephone switch and likely be carried over the same
path as the PRIs. I already have two single port PRI cards to protect against
single point of failure of the PRI card. But in the end, if the router goes
down, it's down. </SPAN></FONT><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
