Re: Interleaved vs. Fast Mode Actually, there's no requirement for
an Ethernet-based port, in the back
of a computer.
What's required, is merely a device,
in a PC (like a PC-Card) to have
ATM capability, with an RJ11 in the back.
At this time, it's too expensive.
That's why most DSL modems have an RJ45
port, going to a nic with RJ45... those
nic cards are selling for the price of
a movie plus popcorn.
No other reason exists, than cost, why
users don't have an ATM port, for an ATM
chord into a ATM bus, on a PC Card,
in the back of a computer.
It is my understanding, that CO's and
backbones are made up of ATM DS3's, for
example.
