Missed the original, but CSU/DSU's are far from obsolete. CSU is a Channel
Service Unit & DSU is a Data Service Unit. They can be just a CSU, just a DSU,
or a combo, which are usually refered to as add/drop units. Most are used with
a T1 line (24 64K channels). The CSU is general used in voice applications
while the DSU is used for data. The csu/dsu (add/drops) is used when the 24
channels are split between voice and data.
