An amazing percentage of "private" lines are pseudowires, and neither you nor
your telco salesdroid can know or tell; even the "real" circuits are routed
through DACS, ATM switches, and the like. This is what link encryptors are
all about; use them.

I would sure be interested in hearing about hands-on operational
experiences with encryptors. Recent experiences have left me
with a sour taste in my mouth. blech!
