Interesting. In California, it's always been one PVC per customer, or
one VP/VC per customer if you have an ATM aggregate.

As the ISP we can deal with them as we choose, static, DHCP, PPPoE, NAT
or whatever. We can even throw a bunch into a bridge group and give a
customer a big private ethernet LAN that never touches the Internet and
doesn't necessarily even run IP.
