Yes switched56 service and T1 DSUs. I used to use Paradyne 740 muxes to break
those out. I can't recall what the previous company name of the 740 was.
I also recall the Baby Bells delivering a special current loop line for
AP News service (I think it was dry). Those were fun, 28.8 baud. :-)
I don't recall anything like a DSU involved but that may not have been
hear the equipment I was working with (5 bit code as I recall but it
was newpaper code not Baudot).
Now I work with 100GE and I hear they're working on 400GE. Progress
marches on ...
