The only use for such devices would be to create a point-to-point T1
connection between two structures where the distance between them is too
for for a standard 10/100baeT cable run. In that case, you would also
need routers on each end that have a T1 interface.
It would be fun to play with if you can gather up all the necessary
equipment.
