Livingston ought to check out the ATL 1540 from American Technology Labs
and then go cut a technology exchange/licensing deal with them. This
CSU/DSU is *very* nice. DSP based, all the stats you could want, simple
configuration, more options than you would ever need. I don't have have
experience of the Cisco 2524/2525 etc. - so I'm not contradicting Steve
above. All I'm saying is don't waste time reinventing the wheel. Cut a
deal with someone whos been there and done that!
