  I'd believe MADMAN :)

  Don't have the Solie book, can you phrase the question more concisely?

  With FRTS you will need to create a map for each speed or the default
56K will be implemented. With GTS you can configure individual
interfaces and I think the main differance between FRTS and GTS is the
queueing mechanisms used.
