RE: DS1 test units, T-Birds and the like

[Chad Skidmore <cskidmor () nwnexus com>]

The TTC T-Berd 224 would be a good choice for DS1 testing.  The T-Berd
310 is a similar unit for DS3 level testing.  The TTC units have several
different software options that you may or may not need (ISDN, various
loop codes, etc).  The price is often times higher than $3-$6k.  You can
plan on spending $10k or more for a well configured test set.
