If a OC-12 connector cannot be used on a PC-based server than what server can it be used on? Are we simply using terminology, in that: PCs and servers don't have the same PCI bus, Pentium II, 133Mhz FSB, 256 RAM? How does an OC-12 connector on the ATM switch/module connect to a server? Isn't it still one-to-one, and not like some multi-i/o serial port? Do you mean that OC-12 connectors only connect from a ATM switch/module to a router/bridge unit only? Is the Fore PMC-Sierra PM5355 practically worthless then? Best Regards, Crystal.
