I guess we'll have to wait for Allegiance customers "leak" the
information.  The leaks may not be as accurate as if the information
came directly from Allegiance.  Other providers such as AT&T, Earthlink,
MFN, RCN have a different philosophy about providing information
concerning their network status.  Not all NOC's are the same.
