- I did not intend to burden everybody with a message that I thought could
- be handled with personal mail. However, I cannot send mail to La Monte,
- the message I get back says it would require 19 hops and I am only
- allowed 17. :-)Gee, so much hassle over two little hops!

- I believed that Gandalf introduced a new product that supports 128 kbps
- transfers. Their previous product was 64 kbps plus voice. Digiboard
- has a product that will support transfers of 256 kbps if you connect two
- ISDN lines into it.
-
- All of these boxes are ISDN/Ethernet bridges, i.e., they operate at
- Layer 2 and IP runs above them. They will support any network protocol.
