T1 Modules. If you are leasing a T1-carrier line and the public carrier does
not provide a CSU/DSU, you will need to purchase one of the three narrow
slot T1 modules, which include a built-in CSU/DSU. (See Figure 1-8.) Select:
a one-port T1 module, which supports a full T1-carrier line (24 channels
or 1.544 Mbps)
a two-port T1 module, which provides 1.544 Mbps on each interface (3.088
Mbps total)
a T1 + DSX-1 module, which enables you to use some channels for data
and some channels for voice
