It so happens that largest switches, most reliable switches, large ATM switches, the ATM standard itself, and yes, the software that runs them, are all made and were made for years by telco equipment manufactures, and, in particular, by LU. Not that I endorse buying it at present prices.

DB, >>> Cisco has recently spoken of the difficulty in creating advanced digital systems to handle voice traffic. The article suggested that it was easier to go voice to data than vice versa as Cisco has posited. Now I'm confused. I see it as two standards. One Analog, one Digital. <<< Analog has been 'dead' for sometime now, except a-way-out-in-the-tulies! Usually analog to digital conversion is the first thing that is done. As far as 'switching' is concerned, it is all digital data in the larger switches. Regards, Ken
