Yes I did the same. I am running a Bay Networks Centillion 100 with 20 OC3
MM 155MB ATM ports and can do PVC, SVC, PNNI, LANE, MOPA, Etc... for $800.00
compared to the street price of $3K to $4K for a ls100 or more for a ls1010.
The ATM OC3 interfaces cost enough I just wanted to do CLIP and SVC's not
just back to back fibre with PVC's. Plus there is the interoperability
issues to work out which means you have to get to know ATM and how it works
much better :)

Buy another manufacturer's switch. Much cheaper. I bought an Olicom ATM
switch and was qucikly able to do SVC, PVC, Classical IP and LANE. The guy
threw in an Olicom Token Ring switch . I didnt realize it at the time,
but it (Tken Ring switch) is exactly (OS menus and all) like the Catalyst
3900 series routers in the real lab (at a fraction of the price)
