I've actually done a fair bit of that sort of routing (IPX, DECnet, and whatnot) for a living "back then" before my health gave up on me (landing me on disability pension). As a matter of fact, you could even route NETBEUI if you encapsulated it in something else (and thus i reality bridged it). We did that for a few customers, over frame-relay, as late as 2001 (when I moved on to a different part of the company). Basically, any signal that you can connect to an interface on a router, CAN be routed, provided your NOC team is creative enough. //Svein - -- - --------+-------------------+------------------------------- /"\ |Svein Skogen | svein_at_d80.iso100.no \ / |Solberg Østli 9 | PGP Key: 0xE5E76831 X |2020 Skedsmokorset | svein_at_jernhuset.no / \ |Norway | PGP Key: 0xCE96CE13 | | svein_at_stillbilde.net ascii | | PGP Key: 0x58CD33B6 ribbon |System Admin | svein-listmail_at_stillbilde.net Campaign|stillbilde.net | PGP Key: 0x22D494A4 +-------------------+------------------------------- |msn messenger: | Mobile Phone: +47 907 03 575 |svein_at_jernhuset.no | RIPE handle: SS16503-RIPE - --------+-------------------+------------------------------- If you really are in a hurry, mail me at svein-mobile_at_stillbilde.net This mailbox goes directly to my cellphone and is checked even when I'm not in front of my computer. - ------------------------------------------------------------ Picture Gallery: https://gallery.stillbilde.net/v/svein/ - ------------------------------------------------------------ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAksnZnIACgkQODUnwSLUlKR4jwCgqiT+aISY+tlUgD0mwlPQwAJp P4QAnimhUag3g63NnVSNkqYDw4LSc2BE =kMty -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----Received on Tue Dec 15 2009 - 09:35:40 UTC
