>And I've had quite a few lively discussions as to the >difference between T1 and DS1. T1 is simply circuit >constructed to respond optimally to a DS-1 signal. Actually, I have been told (by some GTE "old timers" <g>) that T1 is a proprietary Western Electric term. They didn't exercise a whole lot of imagination, they simply used the next letter of the alphabet when they built a new system. (So that's why we have M-carrier systems in the Bell System <g>). DS1 is the "generic" term (Digital Service 1). ________________________________________________________________ John Combs, Senior Project Engineer, ITS/TestMark Laboratories Email: [email protected] URL: http://www.testmark.com
