Hmm. The fact that you have a "smartjack" demark at all (do you?) suggests to me that it's still an HDSL terminal, albeit the older 4-wire HDSL1 variety. It's still 4 wires like a Classic T1, but instead of each pair carrying 1.544 Mbps in one direction only, each pair carries 1/2 of the T1 in both directions. The smartjack unit has two RS8973 or Bt8970 chips in it, each driving one HDSL pair, an 8953 chip combining them together into the full T1 frame, and whatever other chip is the PHY for the T1 interface presented to the user. On-topic bit for this list: I have gschem symbols for RS8973 -- that's the chip that was taken out of the HDSL system described above and used by itself to make what's called SDSL.
