I have a question about the vwic-2mft-t1 card. I havent worked with these in the past although the idea sounds like it will work just like the smart serial interfaces (2 int's 1 module) anyway I noticed that these are rj48 interfaces. Does taht just mean I put an rj48 adapter on the end of my cat5 or what. Also these cards don't care about the traffic sent right (ip/ipx)
thanks

No and yes. RJ48 (from my knowledge) is the male mod end on a patch cord. While the RJ45 is the female recepticle. You should be able to take a Cat5 patch cable right to this WIC. Traffic shouldn't be an issue if you have the right IOS to support it.

so what you are saying is that I should be able to just 'plug in' my traditional cat5 with the rj45 or will i need a different terminator (rj48). Sorry to make this more than it is just want to be sure. This needs to be one of those one shot on kill install's :)

Where's the other end of this cable going? PBX? Some of the interface youse different pairs than ethernet, but because it's a straight through cable, a lot of times it doesn't matter. Please expand on where the other end is.
 
The other end of this cable goes right to our T1 drop at our location. Just a standard T1 for data. I'm using this interface because I can squeeze 2 T1's into a single mod. This will leave me with my AIM slots for growth. In the past for applications like this I used a smart serial wic that also had 2 interfaces. Anyway I spoke with our phone guy and he says I can use the regular rj45 / cat5 combo in this interface.
thanks
