It could be a channel mulltiplexor. With the amount of ISDN you have in
Europe, I wonder if there is many uses for channelized E1 without it
being a PRI/PRA. As I understand it, it is a fairly uncommon item, or at
least there isn't enough around to drive the cost down. You can however
get a TA750 or ADIT600 for the american market(eBay) and then purchase
either a E1 board for them to swap out the T1 card, or you can purchase
the TE410P and use it in the T1 format while still running the E1 to
your telco.
