We have a P130 in house... We tried a FullT1 on it using 4.6C code and
although it did work, I seemed to run out of processing power when I tried
to filter...

This past weekend I talked with an Ascend engineer and he was under the
impression that the new 5.0 series of code fixed some performance problems
in the P130 so that a full T1 shouldn't be a problem at all anymore... so
if I ever get the chance, I may bring up a new T1 circuit and place that
P130 back into service to see what it can do with the 5.0 code...

But alas, this is a Livingston list, so I would like to say that I would be
interested in seeing a T1 router with built-in CSU/DSU from Livingston...
