This is possible, but you'll be paying milage on those lines. One way, is to use an add/drop CSU to bridge the CT1/PRI to your long haul, but this still requires you to have equipment in the remote location. You're also going to pay more for each of those PtP T1s than you would for the other option, which would be to get FX lines from your telco. This completely removes the need to maintain equipment at a remote location, but you'll be paying milage on those circuts. In the past, I've used FX lines for the first couple of PRI. But in my location, the milage on 3 lines is more than enough to pay for a PtP T1 and a remote facility. To give an example, to serve a town about 20 miles away, I'm paying about $300/month extra for the FX. A PtP T1 is something along the lines of $450/month. At 2 PRI, it's $600. At 3, it's $900, which is enough to cover the PtP T1 and rent for a building. Better yet, I try to find some company or organization that is willing to trade a closet for bandwidth. A single T1 for data should be able to support 8-10 PRI without issue. For me, that's a savings of about $2500/month. -- Troy Settle Pulaski Networks 540.994.4254 ** -----Original Message----- ** From: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG ** [mailto:owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Alex ** Sent: Monday, September 04, 2000 11:59 PM ** To: free ** Subject: Dialin T1 forwarded to a new location ** ** ** ** ** This isn't really a FreeBSD question, unless there is hardware to do ** this in the FreeBSD OS. ** ** Here's what I want to do.
