I have two networks connected via fractional T1 (128kbps) using 
the HSC V.35 interfaces between an AGS+ and IGS/R routers.  This setup  
replaced an older set of Sun gateways running Brixton PPP.

I set the routers up using PPP encapsulation without realizing 
that it might not be necessary.  My initial thought was that since
I was using the serial interfaces, than I would have to use a serial
based protocol.  Is this true?  Can I turn off PPP encapsulation. 
and run straight IP between the two routers.  Without knowing how much
overhead the PPP is adding, I'd imagine we'd see better perfomance
without it.

Now the important question;  Can I turn this off without disrupting
the network?  Or will I loose the connection?
