Craig,
Here are some sample products that I've seen.

Some of the key features you might look for:
* - in-band management of the remote end (doesn't require an ethernet
connection at the far end)
* - Automatically turn down circuits when they go down
I think some of them will even allow you to test the circuit yourself.
HTH,
