I suspect T-carrier is probably the technology I'm thinking of, which would have been sufficient to reach from "practically anywhere" to a telco switching center, even back in the mid-1970's when a "T1" was considered blazingly fast (and neither fiber nor HDSL was at all widely used, if they even existed). _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
