I have never worked on T1 but just E1 in México, but have read several
times different books about CAS. AFAIK you are correct, except I
cannot confirm your  SF vs ESF statement. In the E1 world RBS is not
used to implement CAS, but rather channel 16 is used to multiplex the
ABCD bits for all the other channels, so ABCD update per channel
arrives each 2 ms in channel 16.
