Some confusion here, no doubt based on the manual. ;) (sorry. couldnt resist).
Maybe confusion on my part though. Although the manual says the IRX can
go to E1 on its sync port, it wont. On E1 it looks amazingly like a T1.
No way it gets upto 2048kbit. Especially not on both ports, but even
1 port has difficulties with E1. Ofcourse, this may have all been fixed
in the PM2ER, and if so, great work :).

Obquestion: any idea on OSPF/BGP yet? :)
