Given that use of X2 requires that the 'master' site must be connected
via ISDN, will there be many people who have more than one D/A
conversion in the path?  With the telecos having fully digital
backbones the only D/A conversion should be at the switch serving the
user's local loop. Once the signal has been digitised at the local
switch it makes no sense to add additional pairs of D/A and A/D
conversions in the path, especially as the connection to the ISP is
digital.
