Mike, Back then it would have to have been Arpanet. T1 is point-to-point, but can be used to get to the internet. Typically this would be from the house or business to the ISP and then to the internet. This is how you connect using a DSL line, because it too is point-to-point to an ISP.
Thank you, Mark Snyder -----Original Message----- T1 is literally technology from another century and is only good for 1.544 m/sec, required specially conditioned dedicated leased circuits, and is extremely expensive. I cannot imagine what possible value it would have in today's data communications environment. And, unless I am wrong, is considered "point to point" with no access to the Internet. Maybe some telcos are selling something different these days, but that is my understanding from when I sold T1 for the Bell System back in the 1960s. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
