Ask when your favorite carrier can provide Frame Relay backbone service. Cisco will have Frame Relay cabability in 8.2. TDM technology is old fashioned one of the reason being the one you mentioned (ie. lack of addressability). Another reason is that fixed bandwith (the sum of which <= T1) has to be allocated for each connection. -- Juha -- -- Juha Heinanen, Tampere Univ. of Technology, Finland jh@tut.fi (Internet), tut!jh (UUCP), jh@tut (Bitnet)
