B8ZS is of no help on a CT1. The purpose of B8ZS is to ensure timing by preventing lots of consecutive zeros on the line. This can't happen with a CT1. The control bits in each channel will ensure enough ones density to maintain timing.
ESF is better than D4 is you are doing monitoring of the line or are going to run advanced diagnostics using test equipment. Not having ESF doesn't hurt untill you have problems then its a benefit. The bad news is that ESF requires that both ends of the line be ESF capable. Many switches aren't ESF capable on CT1s.
Garlic, Thanks, this is exactly what I was needing to know; if I would be wasting my time for something that would have little noticable affect other than making me look [more] like an demanding, irate asshole telco customer. :-) --- Bryan Wann bwann@cwis.net CWIS Internet Services http://www.cwis.net - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.
