         The Sprint NAP is using FDDI initially.
         
         -tjs
         
Mea Culpa.  I forgot to point this out.  Sprint's NAP does start with
FDDI and evolve into national ATM access, and also allows colocation of 
user owned equipment at the Sprint NAP.  You guys should be congratulated
on putting engineering and management issues ahead of marketing in your
design.  KISS still triumphs over complexity, even in today's frantic
age...

                                                Thanks,
                                                    Milo
