It is what runs their package service. They won't give you a connection slower than 56kb, but for $300/mo they include the port in their net, AND the LEC's DDS ckt to you! They have a POP in every garage - many many more than AT&T. Do you have a contact point for these folks (by voice or e-mail) ? Any idea on the feasibility of running IP over X.25 using this service? Sounds like a very cool possibility.... -- Msen Edward Vielmetti /|--- moderator, comp.archives emv@msen.com
