A comment,
Thanks to Mr. Jack Haverty of Oracle in pointing out that Infolan
represents a non-ANS, non-CIX option for commercial connectivity.
Infonet's IP service is merchandised under the product name of
Infolan and is sold worldwide. We have cisco routers in Hong
Kong, US, Canada and Europe fully meshed under common network
management. Infolan was featured as a Leading Technology Product
in the December issue of Data Communications magazine. There's
nothing else like it.
You should note that Infolan only provides (to my knowledge) so called Private
Virtual networks using X.25, and now IP as well.
Internet access to the open DNS supported Internet is not part of their
offering.
