Well, that's a general guideline that they use...just turned up a 12mb
circuit and its straight into a router...however, we've been customers
of UU.Net for quite some time and they looked at our usage on our T1
circuits with them and realized that when we get a circuit, we *use* it,
so they made the decision to put us directly on a router port in
anticipation of us actually using the bandwidth.
Incidentally, we're straight into the router port and still using f/r
encap. I'm not really sure of the reasoning behind this, but
apparently, the edict came down from on high that all new turn-ups would
use frame-relay encap...even if straight into a router port. *shrug*
