And this continues in its abilities to aggregate traffic. I see that as a contradiction to the assertion your assertion that there's no difference or that voice networks are more efficient than data networks (depending on how you want to read your paragraph). -- Christian Kuhtz <[email protected]> -wk, <[email protected]> -hm Sr. Architect, Engineering & Architecture, BellSouth.net, Atlanta, GA, U.S. "I speak for myself only."
