Itīs very hard to come by STM16 ATM interface on a router with STM64 being non-existent on both switches and routers. This is not due technological barriers but commercial reality. ATM would be going away faster if DSLAMīs wouldnīt be there increasing the traffic, but because of the extensive investments to ADSL gear, itīll be there in 5, probably 10 years time. Because of the above reason, there is no point in setting up an ATM based exchange today. The first one here which was built 1996 is being retired by the end of year, and the other probably sometime next year. Pete
