Heh ... perhaps I mis-used "using". My apologies, let me be more explicit: You do not connect to Google's services directly using Ethernet or ATM addressing/reachability, except to (cough) "tunnel" IP(v*) over those media. Same for frame relay, token ring, etc.etc.etc. Better? :) Now if you made it IPv6 over IPv4 over IPv4+GRE+IPsec over Ethernet over MPLS we would be talking FUN. And someone would be having WAY to much free time! /TJ PS - Yes, you win $5 - to be paid in Internet Dollars, and you didn't even need to go on strike to get them. (/southpark)

That's the router in my house connecting to Google using IPv4/IPv6 over ethernet over ATM. Do I win $5? :-)
