Another UUNET Explanation

Ummm.. Maybe you are missing my point. Those of us that do not have
bottomless pockets to pay for a "EVERY ROUTET HAS A CONNECTION TO EVERY
OTHER ROUTER (VIA PPP -- added by me). 

I never said it was the catch all / fix all. But, it is cheaper, and n our
environment, works well and affordably. Backhoes can only do so much
damage, and that is why one has backup ISDN or some other means. In a high
scale network (like BlueBlue Net), they have several DS3 Frame Relay
trunks leaving each PoP, so that dismisses the backhow bit also.
