asterisk users - Feb 2006 - POTS lines vs. using T1 to connect phone services?? HELP

Need help...I need to install a card to terminate 7 lines...I
have not order the phone lines yet...I can either do analog lines 1FBs
or order a fractional T1...any suggestions on what hardware would be
easier to install and configure...also if I went with a T1...do I need
an external CSU/DSU or anything or does it just plug into the T1
card...thanks..

A fractional T1 is what I would suggest and it is easy to setup and
configure.  You should only need to plug in the T1 line directly into
the T1 Card on the server.  The provider will supply the equipment to
terminate the line on your premises.
