Sorry, no Logix experience that I can remember. There really are two distinct types of WAN test equipment. For intrusively troubleshooting circuits any one of many Bit Error Rate test sets are usually employed. What used to be TTC (now Acterna) is responsible for the famous Fireberd series and also the T-Berd series. These are great products (I prefer the Fireberd in most cases for digital stuff but the T-Berd 310 has several optical options for SONET, PoS, etc). These also can monitor non-intrusively in many cases. As for v.35, there probably isn't much you could do for in-service monitoring. In the T-Carrier and Frame Relay world, the test set can lock to the frame, verify the FCS, etc. I've also used the Agilent Advisor (formerly the HP Internet Advisor) quite a bit, which is a Windows-based test set for both LANs and WANs. It seems primarily geared towards "sniffing" or in-service stuff but can serve as an intrusive test set as well. None of these that I've mentioned are cheap, to say the least.
