Also, TWO or more good timing source trying to control the timing of a circuit can cause slips.

I am of the belief that this is what is causing this.

I just proactively found 3 more customers that are all taking slips on the t1 that serves voice. They are all multiple T1 customers.

They are all in different latas and ride over different DS3 facilities.

Again, the only common thing is that they are connected to the 5E for voice and our ciscos for data. The Cisco's are 7500s that are set to time off of the loop. The 5E is using a bits clock.
