Has anyone had experience using the Cisco POET cards in the following
scenerio:

Site A || -------------- Site B ---------------

cisco 7206 Kentrox Some Cisco
w/POET --------DS3---------- DS-3 IDSU ---- HSSI --- w/HSSI

Or, do I need a POET on both sides?

Your scenario looks ok to me. You want to be sure you have 'dsu mode 1'
on the POET to match the Kentrox idsu you're using. Check the rest of
your parameters to insure they're consistent too, i.e. clocking, framing,
etc. I have turned up a number of these having the configuration you
describe and haven't had a problem with them.
