While PAIX is a nicer, newer and cleaner facility than what MFS has in San Jose for MAE-West; I don't recall too many failures or complaints about the quality of that facility. Ask BBN where their SJ POP is located. Since I don't think this list has turned into 'network-engineering' I'll stay away from the P*B NAP vs. MAE-West point. ;-) -jh-
