Hi
I have ran both, and from a data transfer point of view there really is not
any difference.
But from a trouble shooting point of view, I really like to have a CSU/DSU
built into the PA/WIC. There is quite a bit of information and testing to be
done from a built-in CSU/DSU. I am one of those network engineers that
prefers to work from home in the middle of the night instead of driving in
to the shop, so having the ability to trouble shoot through the router is a
big advantage. Otherwise I have to setup a terminal server or OOB line to
the external CSU/DSU to trouble shoot.
