Please elaborate on the 33.6 issue. Here's our distribution for the last
16,260 calls. SWBell PRI + Ascend 4004. 47% were ISDN calls, 53% were
analog calls.

ISDN Calls
64000 - 9.6%
56000 - 94.4%

Analog calls
33600 - 0.06%
31200 - 0.06%
28800 - 13.40%
26400 - 34.02%
24000 - 9.75%
21600 - 5.17%
19200 - 1.07%
16800 - 0.25%
14400 - 25.32%
12000 - 0.48%
9600 - 0.31%
7200 - 0.05%
4800 - 0.31%
2400 - 9.75%

We returned a USR TC because it did not support the only available
protocol, NI-2, at the time of installation, and because when configured on
a channelized T1 it offered similar results for analog callers. Which
vendor has the stuff?

What are list members seeing on USR TC?

What are list members seeing on Ascend?

What are list members seeing on Livingston PM3?

What are list members seeing on the Cisco?
