Paul, You are missing the point, to make voice work, you have to move bits between sender and receiver, and, it does not really matter how you do it. More interesting is to se when you can no longer make a normal phone-call, becouse all the resources in the voice switch is consumed by people accessing the Internet with Modems or ISDN. What will they do, improve the voice network (very expensive) or give people real IP services? Once they given people real IP services, well, voice is just an application. --Peter

absolutely - voice (and hi hi audio) work very nicely on our 155 Mbps IP over ATM net - they could ONLY work BETTER if we tok the ATM out....in fact, the utilisation on our IP on 34Mbps SMDS is far better...and even there, i think we could sacrifice the SMDS if it wasn't so stable... jon
