BGP4 peering wiht Sprint, and MCI

[Nathan Stratton <nathan () netrail net>]

We have a 486 DX4 100 with 40 megs of ram running FreeBSD and gated with a 
T1 to Sprint and a T1 to MCI. I have a few questions that someone may be 
able to answer. 

If my Sprint T1 goes down, how long will it take for route to drop out of 
the routing table?

I have peering going with sprint and MCI and I have about 31,000 routes 
in my routing table. When I called up sprint and MCI they said they were 
not getting routes form me. How do I advertize my CIDR blocks to sprint 
and mci via BGP4?

I have:

204.17.64.0/24
204.183.0.0/19
205.215.0.0/18
