Maybe the small fact that ATM is fading away and building new networks
with technology going away is going to explode your operational cost in
a few years time. Business grade IP networks will provide you with equal
if not better performance than a "dedicated" ATM WAN.
(in addition to the fact that you probably posted your question in the
wrong forum)
