[c-nsp] Old FDDI question

[Bill Wichers]

I have an application where I need a temporary protected fiber link, and
have some old (antique?) PA-FDDI cards that can be used. FDDI gives the
100 Mb/s and the path protection, but are there any reasons to *not* use
such a link for general Internet traffic? The link will be temporary and
will be replaced in some 4-6 months, and is just a point-to-point between
two POPs. I'm just afraid of seeing wierd, unexpected problems like people
sometimes report with the ISL Ethernet PAs...
