On a side note, the HSSI card does not terminate in a V.35, but rather in a HSSI physical connection, similar to a SCSI physical termination. I wouldn't ponder the intent of the designers of the HSSI card. However, I would hazard that a good percentage (3-15) of the HSSI cards are used for access points to iMUXes.... -alan - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
