This is normal for non HDLC encapsulated circuits. I keep two RJ45 homemade loopback plugs in my desk, one for 56K and one for T1 to test, this is why I mentioned hardwire. > > Strange thing I noticed is that if I chance encapsulation to HDLC and press > the local loopback button on the DSU I get Interface up, line protocol up > (looped). If you can do a loopback with a loopback jack try it or better yet loop from the dmarc. Of coarse you may have to beat up the telco some more too as they ll too often declare a line good after minimal and incomplete testing.
