Note: in Europe, the telephone company provides the NT-1 at the
customer's wall. In the US, the customer must provide one.
However, most consumer ISDN equipment sold in the US has an
built-in NT-1, so you might not need to get a separate one.
Here's an example of why one might want an external NT-1

This unit was a pioneer; it made headlines when Intel announced
joint-marketing deals with telcos (in '94?) to sell it for
as little as $199. Prices of internal ISDN cards in the U.S.
are only now ('96) reaching that low figure, but the RemoteExpress
was dropped some time ago, apparantly a victim of being ahead
of its time.

A multiplexor is like a TA. A lot like a TA. In fact, most TA's
support BONDING, which is an inverse multiplexing protocol, which means
it lets you spread a single connection over several channels to go faster.
The following units support more esoteric applications of multiplexing
than the usual TA.
- ISDN Telephones and Consoles
- ISDN PBX equipment
- Uninterruptible/Backup Power Supplies
- Test Equipment
- Remote Branch Extensions / "Pair gain" devices
See also: ISDN Consultants/Installers; these tend to be distributors, too
