Re: RE: [EFM] TDM circuit emulation
Bob,
I'd be interested in reading arguments on this topic of TDM over EFM. Would you
care to indulge? Would TDM be used in support of POTS, T1s, IDSN, or GR303 in
general? Curious as to which services you see pertinent here, and at what speeds,
but more importantly: Why on EFM?
If the list thinks that this is too far afield, then I'd still appreciate getting
opinions on this via email. TIA.
