	Use spans insted of IISP, you would get anutomatic ATM routing, its a
fore propietary P-NNI
	
	If your ATM adaptor cards of the host are fore use foreip, in switches
and hosts.
	Else lane means LECS(use well knonw addess) and LES-Bus in a switch,
and each switch with its LEC in order to manage them.
	      ip-over-atm means an arp-server(a switch or host), configure your
clients with the nsap (atm address) of the arp server.
		
	Between lane & ip-over-atm I prefer lane.
	  
	Hope this helps.
