Timeplex rots.

Rutgers University has 4 campuses joined by T1 lines.  Generally
we reserve a megabit from the T1 line for the Ethernet-Etheret
link.  The rest is used for some IBM-releated stuff, RJE's and
things.  The multiplexors are Avanti Ultramux.  These allow you
to allocate any fraction of bandwidth to any portion of the serial
lines.  The Ethernets are bridged by CISCO IP/DECNET gateways.
Each box has one of their T1 serial cards that can support 2
T1 (or slower links).  They also make a somewhat cheaper 56K
board.
