4. Chanellized DS3. Don't know anything about it - can MFS provide circuits this way via a DS3 handoff? No CSU/DSU required? Any other costs/issues? Channelized DS3 stuff only seems to be useful for putting mulitple customers on a single physical circuit. You need to be able to break it out to the DS1 level for each customer. Perhaps MFS, PacBell, etc can do this? It's probably just a matter of them defining that "product". (I.E. Feed MFS a DS3 and they give a T1 to each of your customers.)
US West !nterprise sells such a service, only for frame relay connections.
