I was wondering today...

I'd never use the W1 for my main feed with a T1 (I'm doing it on a 56K
right now and I get LOTS of errors that I can only attribute to the
Livingston). But I was wondering how well the W1 would work for an E1
outgoing feed (airlink). Will it even get close, or will it start
"clamping down" as the CPU or serial controller gets overloaded, and does
anyone know about what range this would be? This is currently an ER-10,
but we plan to upgrade to 20 ports before we even crank up the Airlink.
