Was T1 a "digital" line interface, or was this rather a 24x3.1 kHz channel?
How was the 64 ??? Kbit/s interface to the first IMPs implemented?
Wasn't it AT&T that provided the lines for the first IMPs?
I was always wondering how they could provide such a "high speed" line in the
1960s.
I hope somebody knows this....
