We have the Centillion 100 with 1 4Port ATM with MCP and 2 of the 10
port Etherspeed cards, 8 ports are Switched 10 and 2 ports are
100baseT.  We have not been able to get the ATM and Lane Emulation to
work with the Fore ATM cards, but are presently working on getting it to
work.  Bay Network tech support has been very good, and so has Fore. 
Bay and Fore are telling me they will have a fix for the Fore ATM card
within the week. I am hoping to get my ATM backbone up and running
within the next 2 weeks.  Right now all i am really running is a
100BaseT backbone and switched 10 ports, so far so good.  I think for
the money paid the Centillion is a very good purchase.  I don't have any
answer about the ATM yet but will within the next 2 weeks if all goes
well.
