We installed a Wan Pipe at a client's about 2 or 3 years ago.  It was a
little quirky to setup (at least partly because the company setting up the
router on the other end was not doing very well.  The connection was solid
as a rock up until about 3 months ago when their provider finally pulled
the line due to bankruptcy...

I have a spare Wan Pipe ISA with built-in CSU/DSU (the T1 plugs directly
into the card), if you're interested.  Now that this client no longer
has a T1, we don't really need to keep a spare in inventory...  I should
probably sell it on e-bay...
