Also, I hear L2TP is better than L2F, but And the telcos have no control of the network now? Let's see....if Ameritech is doing repair on voice equipment, and some ham-handed tech who just started yesterday destroys one (or more) of our DS-1's....no more connectivity to that customer, or possibly (if he hits enough of them) to anyone. I agree that it would really be nice to have 100% control over things, since unless you do you can't really and truly PROMISE any kind of reliability. P.S: I'm not implying that Ameritech (or any other telco) is incompetent....only that there *IS* an unavoidable danger of service disruption by accident. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
