telling it whether your packets should stay on your local
network or be forwarded somewhere else on a wide area
network.
The default DS0 value is 1 (64 kbps), but the NetGuardian
supports up to 24 DS0 channels (24 DS0s=1.536 mbps).
Note: The value entered here must correspond to the DS0
end value.
The default DS0 value is 1 (64 kbps), but the
