Sorry, I thought ATM refered to the fibre too. There *are* a lot of people
throwing out ATM kit, because Newbridge's ATM customers have found
themselves with unsupported hardware, and the company that bought
Newbridge (can't remember who) is virtually paying us to replace it with
gigabit.
ATM is still used by telecoms people ofcourse, I was refering to its use
in computer networks.
