(ASCEND) HDSL PRI ?



We currently have 3 PRI's coming from a DMS100 switch to a max4004 and a
max4048.
We were scheduled to have a PRI added today, but ran into some questions.
The telco
(BellSouth) tech informed us the new PRI was coming from some "new
technology" and
started to mount a new PairGain unit on the wall (even though there were
plenty of slots
open in the existing units).  We tried to get him to explain "new
technology" but he said
he didn't understand anything about it....it was supposed to work just like
the older PRI's
we currently have installed without any difference from our point of view.
Having been fed
complete lines of bull sh*t in the past, I asked if there was anyway to just
get another PRI
the same as the ones we currently have installed.  The reply was no....they
are no longer
selling the older technology.  The question is, what kind of problems are we
going to be
in for "mixing" these technologies (if any) with the maxes.  Which PRI (new
or old) do I
set to provide the clock source...does it even matter?   What kind of switch
issues apply,
can the line be used for 56k etc...?

The install has been postponed for a while to give us some time to get
answers.
The PairGain unit is a Model HRU-412, luckily the tech agreed to lose the
card reference
for the unit here so we could check it out.  The docs say that the unit is
for providing a
complete HiGain HDSL system for quickly and cost-effectively delivering T1
temporary
service.

Any thoughts, explanations, or suggestions?

Thanks,
Scott McDonald
