Need 1 Big Pipe for several Smaller Pipes

[jenninbe]

We have several T1 connections to the CO. Some T1's are for phone traffic (local and long distance), some are for point-to-point circuits to remote facilities, and some are for Internet access. Everytime there is expansion, we get another SmartJack added to the wall and another T1 circuit is turned up.

Is there a better way to consolidate this "wall of jacks"? At first, I thought that would could just get a DS3 connection, but I don't know how we could split up the different circuits that we have.

Thanks,
Beau

Depends on how cooperative your telco is. If all of your T-1s are going to the same CO before fanning out, you could get your telco to service you with a DS3. I have done this on more than one occasion. You could also just ask them for a chassis based smart jack. I have a client in LA that has such a setup.
