Thanks for the reply Julian ... and I have a few more questions now.. Telstra are asking ME to tell THEM what protocol and interface we will be using, chosen from the following: Protocols 1) ITU-T (CCITT) Q933 Annex A 2) ANSI T1.617 Annex D ---- Telstra default 3) LMI (FRF Doc#001-208966) Connection method a) X.21bis/V35 b) X.21 c) G.704 Based on the sr(4) page I would tell them X.21 as the connection method, but what do I tell them about the protocol?? BTW, I am using the code from the 4.2 CDROM, do I need to catch up anything w.r.t. the bug comment? I'm chasing up the WANic 405 card using the sr driver. (reading on) very complying is good, I too like elements that match to standards...
