+/etc/dahdi/span-types.conf
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Theoretically, this file is similar to assigned-spans.conf. It allows
+setting the type (E1/T1) of a "PRI" span. This cannot be configured
+anywhere else: it needs to be done before the span is assigned as it
+changes the number of channels the span has.
+
+In practice most systems don't mix E1 and T1 and thus this file will
+typically have at most a single wild-card line setting all cards to be
+either E1 or T1.
