>>Maybe someone can explain to me why a Channelized Frame Relay DS3 card is so important. I'm missing something here... If ASND doesn't have this card, can they not get around it temporarily ?<< The DS3 CFR card will switch, on each port, separate DS-1's (T1)in to any broadband circuit. Port density is the big key here. For example, I have 28 separate customers paying me for Fractional T1 frame service, with a min. CIR (committed information rate) of 768K but can burst up to 1.5Meg. My customers are muxed up to a DS3 port (45Meg)then to the internet (Mae East). Frame being what it is I can sell up to another 28 separate Frac T1's with a CIR of 768 but again, allowing a burst up to T1.5Meg. The nutshell: I can have 56 customers with at least 768K each and depending on how they pay me I can allow them to burst up providing traffic/usage allows. (Max 28 @ 1.5Meg) This is only per port, more ports....well...less capital expense for price per port on the switch for the carrier. I've never seen a better CFR/UFR card then on the NN 36170. Run these over ATM DS3 and your rockin'. (professionally speaking. BTW, why is this card so important, if your redundency is not engineered correctly and the card fails, think of the bandwidth you just dropped. Maybe someone can comment on the number of ports the card supports for us. I see mostly 3/4 ports for CFR and 8 ports for UFR.

A day late, but not a dollar short... Happy New Year to all here for contributing well considered opinions and valuable information. A very special thanks to Pat Mudge, who has been tireless in tracking down and broadening resources, contacts and technicals while always remaining positive and cheery. I'm looking forward to an even more exciting year especially since milleniums only come once in a lifetime (I hope). The y2k questions will provide fireworks as will EU, Asia, Latin America and the continuing demands for increased bandwidth. To illustrate, I'm now looking at buying a new personal computer and the Xeon chip looks best for throughput.. with an ISDN line, a 21" .22 dot pitch monitor and some 32 meg video card, with scsi drives, dvd and Tv in small windows, all while watching and trading the markets. Its so virtual I'm also thinking of getting a plane ticket to some remote part of the planet to de-tune my digital senses and get back on line with mother nature, leaving the gps behind. Or should that read getting back on line with myself, noting that being on line with one's self is the conundrum of being today. And so it goes.. happy trading and the best of all possible worlds. Jim
