NANOG newbie

Greetings, Hi, I have just recently returned to the United States from New Zealand. I have spent a bit of time down their working as a network designer for ALU and was a member of NZNOG. The infrastructure demands and designs are completely different here in U.S. I am currently working for a VoIP company in Springfield, MA. I was wondering if their might be someone in the area that might be able to help me get my bearings and might be able to give some insight into the BMI project in the area offlist? Thanks for your time. -- James Jones +1-413-667-9199 james@freedomnet.co.nz
