   SMDS was the most Frankenstein-ian network protocol I ever dealt with.
   - T1 or T3 physical layer
   - IEEE 802.6 DQDB data link, but only deployed as point-to-point!
   - 53 byte ATM cells - 44 useful (AAL3/4)
   - OSI style addressing (phone numbers)
   - All to deliver a *connectionless* data service!!
