Things started to clear up for us at around 1443 Central, so it wasn't
too long after I posted my original inquiry to the list.  By 1500
Central it seemed to be fully functional.  Over at
http://www.internetpulse.net our experience seemed to be reflected in
that the Network Availability metric for the Sprint/L3 intersection
started creeping back up from 80%.


This morning at 0830 I got a phone call from the BSAC folks at Sprint,
who said it was exclusively a routing issue within L3.  When I pressed
for details all I got was the same answer. Make of that what you will.
