TO ALL NANOG PROPELLERHEAD TYPES MAKIN' REMARKS ON ATM:

Da switch makers, ya know, dese guys had a problem.  No matter how good
business was, da stock keeps goin' down.  Wid MPOA solvin' alla da
problems, dey figured dis was unfair, dat dey should be solid, steadily
growing stocks now dat dey no longer had to live life in da fast LANE.

So, da ATM Forum has decided to sorta upgrade da public relations
approach.
Please be advised dat all youse geniusues makin' skeptical an' udderwise
unsundry remarks on ATM is now subject to a personal interview from a
special representative udda ATM Forum.

On da boat.

On a nice, long ocean voyage...

(And alla youse gigabit ethernet wanks--ya know what we can do wid a
little ether, heh, heh, heh!)

   --------------------------------------------------
   Several of my peers at PB NAP are reporting significant loss (>10%)
   over the
   PB NAP.  All are OC3 connected, and it seems that PB doesn't have the
   ability to look too closely at OC3 connections.
   
   Death of the 'net predicted: film at 11.
   
   So, does this mean that ATM NAPs also have problems with high traffic
   load?
