Spoke to one of our Telco providers today - they tried to convince us 
that it would be much better if they would deliver our SDSL lines via an
"IP Layer 3 VPN" instead of dedicated ATM VCs.

"That way, all the problems that you keep reporting about line outages
will go away" (of course, most of those are ATM VCs dropping due to
lost ATM OAMs in their network, which we won't see anymore if changing
to an L3 VPN...).

So you need to look at it from the bright side: "no more port outages"...
