Just thought I'd try, but I've been looking 
around for a T1 standard (and hopefully an 
E1 standard) that specifies an acceptable 
BER Bit Error Rate.  I've heard 10^-6 cited 
by a couple of people, but when asked where 
that number resides, they can't find it. 

I have T1.403, but it doesn't overtly state it. 
I've also heard G.821, but I don't have a copy 
of that one. 

I also thought Bellcore wants something like 
10^-9.  I believe that may be somewhere in 499. 

Anyone know of a public national standard (not 
Bellcore) for T1 and E1 that states an 
acceptable BER?  

Regards,  Doug
