PSI (back before they went belly up) was even better with their "free peering" bait-n-switch. I looked into that, and they'd run a T1 to us for free peering, but I didn't think that would cut it. I wanted at least frac-T3 if we were going to peer. Well...frac-T3 peering wasn't available in the city we wanted to peer in, but they offered to sell us frac-T3 transit there. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis *jlewis () lewis org*| I route System Administrator | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________
