I've gotten lot's of responses on my original question, but I'm finding
perhaps I didn't ask the correct one.  What I really need to know is what is
the real world effect of latency on throughput?  I know that frame relay has
a higher latency than a point to point line, and that a point to point is
generally regarded as faster.  Would someone mind explaining the specifics
of that relationship a little bit?  Again, off list please, unless someone
thinks it's an appropriate topic for this list..

Thanks again,

Tim
