Well, that's a general guideline that they use...just turned up a 12mb circuit and its straight into a router...however, we've been customers of UU.Net for quite some time and they looked at our usage on our T1 circuits with them and realized that when we get a circuit, we *use* it, so they made the decision to put us directly on a router port in anticipation of us actually using the bandwidth. Incidentally, we're straight into the router port and still using f/r encap. I'm not really sure of the reasoning behind this, but apparently, the edict came down from on high that all new turn-ups would use frame-relay encap...even if straight into a router port. *shrug* -- Jeff McAdams Email: [email protected] Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456
