Had to look it up.  +/- 3 volts out on the line, 6 volts peak to peak.  
And T1 worries about thinks like AMI/B8ZS, clock master etc.  
DS1 presumes all of that has been taken care of by other equipment.
I think the line signal voltage is the same for both.  Still trying to re-learn 
the exact difference.

Yes.   No problem at all.  True T1 was a bipolar AMI +/- 6 volt signal (I think 
it was 6 volts).  DS1 was the lower logic level type of signal.  Been a while 
since I thought about this.  But  you can extend either with almost any kind of 
twisted pair.  Can’t remember the unit you use to convert a T1 to a DS1.  Oh, 
yes, CSU and DSU.  Wow how quickly it fades.

A friend of mine callled yesterday and asked me about extending a T-1 link from 
Smart jack to new location.   He is wondering if he can use the existing copper 
and jump the 4 wires and finish of with 40 ft of Cat5 to new location. 
If I remember correctly he should end up with 1 volt and run should not exceed 
6000 ft.     refresh my memory you oracles of DS-1s
