So what would be more efficient is to have a digital circuit to the phone switch, speaking a simple protocol which the switch understands. Then the switch can recognize when no data is being presented and can multiplex this data with that of other data customers. Of course, if the data pipes are too small to handle all the data from all active data links then something may have to be discarded. Am I describing the implementation of Frame Relay Service? -- Scot E. Wilcoxon sewilco@fieldday.mn.org 1. Laws are society's common sense, written down for the stupid. 2. The stupid refuse to read.
