Interesting... Is anyone using this type of config to handle dsl
customers? How many PVCs could a beefy box handle? We've been looking at
ATM cards for existing routers and the RedBack box as well... What type
of ATM functionality do we have right now? With dsl, you could easily
reach over 1000 pvcs. Some dsl providers are even doing ppp over atm
(blech, more overhead) to allow for a "sign-on" type deal...
Thanks,
Charles
