mostafa & matt: i'd like to make sure i'm following this: you have 30 x E1
lines/links, right? each E1 has 32 x DS0 time slots or channels. each DS0
is 64 kbps. on each E1, one DS0 is used for framing, leaving 30 x DS0 for
data/bearer use and 1 x DS0 for signaling. since only one DS0 channel on
one E1 is sufficient to handle the SS7 signaling for all the E1 lines, you
can actually have 31 x DS0 bearer channels on all but one link/line
(provided that the carrier is willing to do that). the total bearer load
would then be (29 x 31 x 64kbps) + (1 x 30 x 64kbps), which is 57536 kbps
+ 1920 kbps = 59456 kpbs. (please correct if i miscalculated.)

or you might mean that you have one E1 line/link, in which case you have
one time slot for framing, one signaling channel for SS7, and 30 x DS0
bearer channels.

or maybe there's some other configuration that you're talking about?
