I just looked at your Web Page, and if I understand correctly that buys
me:
1) Sync. card
2) Watchdog timer
3) F.R. protocol

I'd still need to buy a CSU/DSU pair, correct?  Also, can I buy a
CSU/DSU that does 56/64K now, but can be switched to 128K or T1 at a
later date?  Will the card support both?
