According to something I heard last night that should be changing (for MCI at least). WestOrange.mci.net lost connectivity to Washington.mci.net for a long time yesterday, and when an enquiry was made to the MCI NOC, it seems that it was due to a change-over to OC12 between the two locations, and route flapping and general instability seemed to result for some reason. So all we need now are NAP's that run at (at least) OC3 speeds ... :-( Gary -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD: Turning PC's into workstations. See http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/ for info
