Isn't it 32 DS0 streams for an E1 (2.048Mb/s), with one or two (there is some variation from country to country) of the DS0's reserved for signaling? As a user of a rented E1, you can get 30 slots, and in some countries 31 slots. Jack Smith -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
