Frame Relay encap vis-a-vis point-to-point at UUNET

I have never heard complaints about the Cascades for T-1 termination
except where they are terminating too many sessions in the Cascades and
the router couldn't handle that many sessions. This was a bigger problem 
before the 7500 series routers came out and more importantly the RSP4s. 

Fortunately UUNet doesn't terminate T3s into Cascades or ATM switches 
(yet...)
