Could they possibly be speaking for the new MAE-E ATM and MAE-W ATM? They are based on the cisco ATM switch pretty much just like Pacbell's NAP. The colo part has me confused. One could connect using a DS3 lite with Netedges running ATM to MAE-E. But from with in their colo? What would be the point? On a side note does anyone have any plans on connecting to MAE-Dallas/MAE-Dallas ATM?? At 2:40 AM -0000 9/3/98, Jan Czmok wrote:

Hi!

Does anybody know if the statement

"mfs can offer atm ds3 connection to the mae-west and mae-east ehternet from colo space" issued by a german salesperson is true.

According to the www.mfst.com webpage i only see possiblities for 10 Mbit Ethernet, HSSI or FDDI.

Any help is appreciated!
