RCB> Neat. Others options?
WN> Missed the original, but CSU/DSU's are far from obsolete. CSU is a
WN> Channel Service Unit & DSU is a Data Service Unit. They can be just a
WN> CSU, just a DSU, or a combo, which are usually refered to as add/drop
WN> units. Most are used with a T1 line (24 64K channels). The CSU is
WN> general used in voice applications while the DSU is used for data. The
WN> csu/dsu (add/drops) is used when the 24 channels are split between
WN> voice and data.
The ones I've got are obsolete, not CSU/DSUs in general.
As I noted, mine only run up to 56k on a 4 wire leased line.
