In article <360905DD.EF01672D () mis net> you write:
An article on Dynamic Transfer Mode and how circuit-switching technology
will enhance packet-switching protocols. TIWAGOS.

router#config t
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.

        'Nuff said.  I like this quote:

   Karoop said the company could also do battle with the
   big fast-router set. "They could have success in the core
   routing space and compete with the likes of Argon
   [Networks Inc.], Avici [Systems Inc.] and Juniper
   [Networks Inc.]," he said. "Their value proposition is that
   they can provide better QOS than what's out there." 

        I guess all the big providers are behind the times.
Evidently the core routing space is controlled by Argon,
Avici, and Juniper.

        No, I couldn't write that with a straight face. :-)
