MD>PM>          If they are "gaining a pair" (taking your copper pair

        It depends on how it is done.  Technically you can have T1
        service (24 64k channels ... 24 high grade voice good for
        33.6k+ or 56k IDSN (8k used for telco network overhead)) over
        a copper pair.  If its not handled correctly, or the multiplex
        configuration used is poor or not sampling fast enough you
        can have LOTS of problems even with normal voice calls.

        Not a bad idea. :-)
