There is a "T1 over Ethernet" scheme that runs a T1 over Ethernet, Up all the time. It consumes 1.5 +/- megs 24/7.
I would suspect that was what was being offered.

A carrier I like will be introducing PRI over IP, presumably going thru some sort of gateway box (I'm guessing by Adtran but no data yet). Has anybody set up successfully to work directly with such a feed without bothering to take it down to T1 and use a T1/PRI card? Thanks eric I agree with others that likely what you are getting is a product that is SIP based and it is just being priced and bundled to compete with a PRI connection as most bussiness owners and phone guys know what a PRI is.. We have pri's into gateways that run on our VOIP network and we have sip trunks and we mix services out to our customers based on what the routes require. Most of our up line CLEC's can now deliver their TDM and SIP services in both forms so in most cases we take the SIP version and where the vendor does not support SIP correctly we take their PRI version and convert it to SIP ourselves on our gateways. zktech
