Re: T-1 Question...

Chuck,

        Okay, what you have is a channelized  T1 not a full T1 from a
billing/data point of view.  When you channelize like this you go under a
different tariff (at least in GA) than a full T1 for a specific use.  While
the T carries a full 1.544, it is broken down into 24 - 64K circuits and you
are splitting some to the PBX as Voice and some to data for you remotes.

        Let us know how you make out with the sales reps in your meeting.

        JMS...
