[asterisk-users] US T1 Hangup Detection

[John van Oppen]

That happens all the time when the T1s are purchased from a CLEC as the
RBOCs just deliver the clec pairs wherever.

I can think of at least two or three demarcs that I have been to in the
last few months that were mixed like that.   Here in Qwest territory the
T1s use a different color cross connect wire (red/blue and red/orange vs
the yellow/blue that the analog lines use).

No, that's not the unusual part.  The unusual part is just that both
analog and digital services are on the same block.  Maybe it's a
regional think...

Aha!

Good luck with that.
