If Ascend's product works as promised, we'll be replacing some of our leased lines with VPN's. bucky, maybe, but I don't see this happening except for the very cost conscious low end market. Dedicated frame relay will always be more reliable (forget ATT for 1 minute :)) for a business critical solution than a connection to the local ISP. And I'm not sure how this will really benefit ASND that much, as once VPN's become standard fare, it will just become another checklist item for a RAC. Gary
