Abstract
A system which permits regional bell operating companies (RBOCs) and other telephone service providers to offer service to high usage customers (such as Internet service providers for example) without adversely and appreciably degrading the telephone service of other customers served by the same central office. The system provides D4 formatted DS1 signals to the high usage customers. The system also allows data to be transmitted to and from the high usage customers at the maximum possible line rate. Finally, the system permits the high usage customers to test individual lines or numbers within a hunt group.
