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...
If you wish to chat, call us at the office as in the sig
