if nothing else its definately an implied requirement since for sure  
there is a requirement that the terminal equipment must be compatible  
with the CO equipment, and without a CSU its not going to work at all.  
(whether the vendor calls it a csu or not, there is still something  
doing that job) So if it works there is a csu of some sort in there  
regardless of what the marketing material says.
