Actually, I would consider ATM more of a WAN technology that can run in a LAN using LANE. In the WAN it mostly runs on fiber, because of the high speeds that carriers run it at, although you can get it on a coax cable if you get an ATM T3 connection. My understanding (limited) is that AT&T uses ATM for their backbone. Even their Frame Relay connections are converted over to ATM, run across their backbone, and then back into frame to come out the other side. hope that helps some. >Hello, > >This is a very basic question about ATM.
