- Hi,
- first of all I think this is the appropriate newsgroup to talk about ATM.
- ATM is the basic transport mechanism of B-ISDN and a I.xyz standard.
-
- I can recommend the book:
-
- Integrated Broadband Networks:
- An Introduction to ATM-based Networks,
- Rainer Haendel; Manfred Huber,
- Addison-Wesley, 1991
- (Electronic Systems Engeneering Series)
-
- There are suppliers of ATM-cards, switches ... but:
-
- for example a ATM-switch costs about 50000$ (it's a SPARC with extra HW!)
-
- So I don't know anything about cards for PC etc.
