Hmm, interesting. According to folks here, there's no difference in price as far as tariff is concerned.. Different USOC codes, though. As far as I know, nobody here makes a difference in port cost for DS1 based on channel config, in fact, you'd probably get a 'are you sure you want that?!' from whoever is selling the service to you if it is for an Internet service. Weird. Oh well. -- Christian Kuhtz <ck () arch bellsouth net> -wk, <ck () gnu org> -hm BellSouth Internet Services, Atlanta, GA, U.S. Sr. Architect, Engineering & Architecture "I speak for myself only"

There should be no additional charge for the local loop, since all modern telecom equipment inherently support both flavors of T-1s.

Here's a document that further obfuscates the matter for me - http://www.comtest.com/tutorials/t1.html Anybody care to comment on its relevance in this situation? If I read it correctly, Clear Channel = Less Capacity. Doesn't sound right. I believe the carrier in question is AT&T. thanks for any input you guys might have -carl owner-nanog-outgoing @merit.edu AT nxmime To: CARL PHIRSCH/Sargentlundy,nanog () merit eduAT nxmime@SNL-ccmail03/22/01 12:12 PM cc: Subject:Clear Channel on a T1Can anybody give me some info on what exactly "Clear Channel" means in relation to a DS1 circut?
