Which US stuff are you talking about?  My understanding is that DSS1
(Q.931) is an international standard, except that it's not installed

Interesting.  In Germany, the Telco supplies the NT1 as well, but they
allow you to connect anything to it (as far as I can tell; other
German subscribers please correct me).
