Re: Inverse multiplexer for T1 with hardware assisted compression?

My company frequently uses IMUX's for both multiple E1's to a single pipe and
multiple T1's.  We have wonderful experiences with the RAD line of IMUX's.  For
encription you will want a separate box.  If the encription box fails then you
still have your pipe.  And encription box's fail more than we would like.  Hope
this helps.
