@subheading[CAMTEC Future Plans]
CAMTEC is planning a large switch consisting of switchpads interconnected
by either a dual Cambridge Ring or by 64 kb/s X.25 links.

This development will require Release 4 of the software, which is not due
until mid 1986.

Each switchpad could handle 16 X.25 links, with 8 of each running at 64 kb/s
and 8 at 19.2 kb/s.

It is suggested that for the 48 line version, each box is connected to all
of the other 3.  CAMTEC seem to think this configuration is preferable to
one which links the switches by Cambridge Ring.

@T{#}10,000 for both Software and Hardware.
