> Hi Sean what is a DACS ( Data Access Control System)? Digital Access Cross-connect System. It's a remotely-controlled multiplexer for telco data circuits. They're used to split DS0 and DS1 customer lines off of DS3 and OC circuits in the street, or in facilities to split and recombine larger circuits, typically. > I'm asking because in Reuters we use that as a permissioning > system for Market Data clients. Yet another example of the telecom and computer industries jointly overloading an acronym. Just a coincidence, has nothing to do with your software of the same name. -Bill
