A 3002 circuit is not a switched circuit; it's a private line . between two end points. It may not be a dry copper circuit; after . all, it'a an analog leased line and there could be loading coils on it . or it might be muxed up on a T1 carrier facility for transport through . a channel bank. But it doesn't go through a CO switch; it runs over . dedicated facilities. Yes. You are indeed correct. I think what I was thinking of is that there are still electronics (or could be) in a 3002 circuit. In any case, for the A/S/HDSL stuff, you just want dry circuits. I think I also mentioned that you will want the length of the circuit in k-miles. Well, while k-miles can be converted, I think you want the circuit length in k-ft. As Louis suggested, getting an ISP involved with the discussions on this would be most helpful for both parties. -Jim
