Well, if you want to get picky, those would actually be (if memory serves) 155.52 Mbps and, of course, it's only called STS-3 (STS-3c, technically) if it's an electrical carrier (an optical carrier being referred to as OC-3c)... but I'm sure you know all this, Fred. While I'd certainly agree that new SONET deployments likely are few and bar between, there's still a huge installed base out there (indeed, one of our upstreams network is mostly SONET). I think it's safe to say, though, that we all know what Bret meant and that these "well, *technically*, ..." posts (including this one) add nothing of value to the conversation. -- Jeremy L.
