RE: Leased Lines vs Frame Relay w/voice over frame

[eric <eric@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We use A,T&T frame relay.  My advise to you is to get rid of the old 5294 
controllers, if you still have them, before beginning implementation. 
 Also, be sure that you have a back-up communications plan.  The A,T & T 
frame relay crash wasn't pleasant and we were down for 2 days.  We have 
since developed a dial-up back-up plan (our remote offices aren't very 
large).

JacksonLea has 4 remote locations scattered all over North America.  When I
started this job the leased lines were already in place and I had other
priorities.  Now, I am considering switching from leased lines to frame
relay.  I am familiarly with all the reasons for switching.  What I am
hoping to get from this group is actual AS/400 leased line to frame relay
experience (war stories).  I am especially want to hear about up time from
someone who is not a marketing weasel.

I am also considering voice over frame relay.  Has anyone had this
experience.  How did the users react.
