Not my > visualisation of a Good Idea 8) I find it hard to believe that you could casually connect a US manufactured 5ESS Electronic Switching System unless you were the phone company... or run the AT&T ISDN software on it unless you owned it. Or substitute the 6Mb/S out, 4Mb/s in cards that AT&T has that "just plug in" as replacements for the ISDN cards in a 5ESS. If you are talking cards, well, they can be shoved through the approval process by an enterprising importer who wants to make his money on the margins on imported hardware.
