E2 is 8Mbps, which is faster than cisco's T (<=4Mbps) interfaces or IGS
(<=7Mbps) will go. Or is it? I've been told by cisco that the IGS maxs at
7, but does the MCI/SCI really 'only' go to 4?

This is of interest to us as we are about to create a 'downtown' campus,
probably linked to the main campus via 15 or 23GHz microwave. This
provides a G.703 interface with transmission rates of 2,4x2,8,2x8 or 
8x2Mbps. We suspect that a 2Mbps link will be too slow (NFS cross mounts),
but nx2 links would be very expensive and the cisco won't handle 8.
