Re: (ASCEND) Terminator - Using 2nd Ethernet as WAN

["Robert Hof" <rhof@NETinc.ca>]

Bell will give us 10Bt, 100Bt, DS3-ATM UNI or OC-3 ATM UNI.  They really are
pushing the Ethernet / FE connections as the "standard". And since they're
pricing 100Bt 40% less than DS3, I think I'll agree with the bastards this
time.

Unless I'm reading it wrong, the connection standard will be PPPoE for their
consumer level Nortel 1-Meg Modem service, and L2TP for their business level
2.2Mbps ADSL product.

Naturally they're pushing the Redback, but I have a house to pay for, and
plus, I'm used to the lussend gear.

Thanks for the reply.

Rob

| We're using one. What exactly is Bell Canada trying to get you to do?
