Sounds like they are giving you a PVP. (permanent virtual path) If that
is true then they are correct whatever VCI you choose at the source will
be the same VCI at the destination. In other words the Sprint ATM
switches will not switch based on the VCI info in the cell header; it
will only look at the VPI info.
I am suprised that the carriers would be giving out PVPs. That sounds
like the same mentality which was used when they were giving out IP
address ranges. (If you have more than 100 users, you can have a Class A
address)
