Most telcos use "smart jacks" (line interface) which let them loopback for testing their loop eliminating -any- dependence on CPE.
There could be another reason for the insistence of the CSU, the 187 seems a little "lite" on line protection. They might not honor warrantee if you didn't use one. Also, there isn't much gain adjustment on the 187 ;-) (telco takes care of this unless you are over 150 ft from the T-1 jack.) -larry --- randydell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > No, It is just a good idea.
