You bring up a good point. Are we (as ISP's) going to be able to have
multipleD channels on a AO/DI device ? I certainly don't want 50 or 60 AO/DI
users
checking their email every minute on a crutial D channel designed to pass
signalling
for some PRI's or something.
I haven't been keeping up on the subject of AO/DI, so I'll ask the list...
When will the first "test" devices be offered and what are the requirements?
I am assuming it takes nothing special from the phone company. I am also
am assuming that the end user only needs to have a destination Circuit ID or
a tel.no would even work.
