Joe, If you are only going to do intrabuilding, you can get away with just about anything capable of the 1.2/50uSec wave form (see the provision in the GR for using this waveshape with series resistors). I am just now setting up a lab here and decided to go with Schaffner NSG2050, because it would be an easy module addition should we decide to do outside plant in the future. With the CDN, mainframe, module and 1089 box it was ~34K.
Again, if you only want intrabuilding, Keytec makes a product called the CE master for about 17K that will do the waveshape. Keep in touch off line and I will let you know how it all works out once I have played with it (oops, I mean, executed some test plans ;) for a while.

I am specifically interested in opinions of different equipment, cost and extent of functionality (is there a cost savings for equipment whose functionality is limited to this test?). Any input on used equipment would also be helpful. I am initially interested in pre-test if that makes a difference. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
