Hi Al,
I don't have an application for T1 speed. Nor do we have the
bandwidth allocated in the current rules to support that speed below 800
MHz. It sounds like the application would be for an Internet provider who
wants to move data at a T1 rate 25 miles where there is no fiber.
As for which computer to build it for it should work with Linux
and Windows NT.
