The key to my solution is that our connection is not using the switched
network as such. it doesn't leave the switch premises, in fact the
distance form the switch to our equipment is a grand total of 50 feet
at the maximum !!

For Adam's sake, read my orignal message, and then reread steve's
replies and to florian, sorry, you are being too square :-)

We are not deal with analogue, we are deal dealing specifically with a
solution I have found to overcome an interface problem and legal issue
of otherwise using an E400P in Australia and specifically to myself,
The original was to help other aussies maybe overcome similar problems.

For general information, my colo and the carriers' switch are
approximatelt 1800 km away (thats about 1100 miles for those non
metric.

Now it appears to complete the project is the only thing really missing
is a WinIAX client..... :-(
