Hi folks-
I have a problem that I need some advice on, and figured this was a good plac e to turn. We are attempting to connect a T1 to Sprint in order to multi-home our network. Currently we are connected to multiple points on MCI's backbone , and have just installed a T1 to UUnet. We heard back from Sprint today.. they are rejecting us as a customer because we do not use Cisco routers. Apparently they feel that Bay Networks routers are not capable of routing Internet traffic, ignoring the fact that they already peer with ANS and several other providers using Bay routers.
I'd say take your custom elsewhere. Neil. -- Neil J. McRae. Alive and Kicking.
