Re: SprintLink Frame Relay

That is interesting. And I thought Sprint's notorious 0k CIR frame network
was the only anomaly in their data networks. What is the supposed advantage
that would prompt you to switch even if the costs were the same?

As far as the access fees a T1 is a T1. I cannot imagine that they would
have a frame POP & an IP POP in the same facilities. I'd love to hear what
you find out from your reseller.
