eek, I meant to say DS1 not DS0.

Quite often these days, what people refer to as a T1 is in fact a DS1 
delivered over HDSL.  For all practical purposes, except the electrical 
signalling on the copper, the two services are equivalent, same speed, 
same framing.   HDSL is self tuning, while classic T1 required the NIUs 
at each end to be tuned for the circuit, also HDSL requires fewer 
repeaters for longer distance circuits.
