OneCall will *not* peer with anyone not a the Jupiter NAP.

I'm working on the design of an interstellar packet transport. The basic
idea is that we record the packet stream for a couple of days onto a RAID
array with fifty 96 terabyte drives, then load the array on a starship to
make a hyperspace jump to the destination. 

Never underestimate the bandwidth of an interstellar packet transport
hurtling down the galactic highway at Hiperspace speeds?
