So are all the routing engineers hanging out at merit, then?  If you know
of people, be sure and let me know.

In the mean time, I have to take people with only Unix basics, and teach them
IP networking basics just to make them useful in some capacity.  If better
people were available, we'd have them.  It puts a big load on our core 
of talented staff to deal with all the problems that come up, and not much
time for training.

My guess is that Sprint is in a very similar situation.  It's hard to find
good people, and even more difficult to step away from demanding customers
to invest in your future, as important as it may be.
