This is slightly off-topic: I am looking to provide dial-up service to few rural towns outside of our local dialing area. These are *small* rural communities, 20, 30, and 60 miles away from our main office. I seriously doubt any of these communities will ever need more than 96 dial-up lines, and many will start out with just 24-48 lines. Because of their size, I don't particularly want to put a Total Control Chassis in a closet somewhere. I envision doing the following: 1. Having CT1s longhauled back to our main office so everything can be in a centralized location. Each of these towns are in US Worst's area except for one, so I don't see any type of foreign exchange fee between telcos. The one independent telco was going to charge us a small foreign exchange fee to link with US Worst. I know I will have to pay mileage fees on all the lines. My question is, how distance sensitive is a CT1? Has anyone else done this? Would a CT1 running 60 miles between telcos offer quality 56k access? What other technical issues, problems, or financial issues am I overlooking? - andrew - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.

Generally if you can go to one of those towns and dial into your POP long distance with a decent 56k connection, you should get the same results with a backhauled CT1. They are for the most part going over the same circuites between the towns. ----- Original Message ----- From: andrew smith <smitha@rciol.com> To: <usr-tc@lists.xmission.com> Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 1999 12:30 PM Subject: (usr-tc) CT1 and Remote Pop
