My advice to you is to use a third party provider like Radianz, TNS or Sector (SIAC owned company). They can take a lot of headaches away from this. David is right, you can't connect to SIAC directly any more, that's a legacy network (called so by SIAC) and are phasing it out. Again, if you are in CA then use one of the above mentioned providers. It's cost effective and faster then if you were dealing with SFTI directly. BTW, to everybody, please don't write back saying that third party providers are NO GOOD or that you had bad experiences with them. I'm well aware of all this and don't need a lecture on it. My opinion (and I have been dealing with all of them extensivly for a long time) if you are in CA, use them it takes away lot of headaches (make sure you're redundant with them) and gets you up and running fast. My prefered way of connecting would either be Radianz or Sector, I don't like TNS (to all TNS guys outthere, sorry). Hope this helps. AC On Tue, Sep 21, 2004 at 06:01:36AM -0700, Philip Lavine wrote:

who's
would it be? Is it private or public?
They use any provider (Verizon, MCI, AT&T and ConEd Comm.), however ConED Comm. is their primary backbone provider. So, here's how you go about it. You order a line (DS-1, DS-3, 100Mb/s, Gig, whatever) from any of the providers you use (if I were you I would use either Verizon or ConEd Comm, I can give you the number for ConEd Comm. head sales person). You contact SIAC, and you start the paperwork to get your network connected into their backbone SONET. Once you get permit numbers, you have the provider drop a line into one of 5 data centers around NY area, and SIAC gives you a port on one of their Juniper Routers. They also give you a VLAN setup requirements so you can configure your border switch/router. The line is owned by you. SIAC only gives you a port on their routers. NOTE: NEVER ORDER ONE LINE. ORDER TWO OR MORE LINES TO DIFFERENT SIAC DATA CENTERS. The cost for one port (one line) is as follows:
MRC (Monthly Reaccuring Cost): $4,400.00 NRC (Non-Reaccuring Cost i.e. one time fee): $8,800
Any line you drop at SIAC will cost you that amount, and that's on top of the line costs from the provider. That's it. Hope this helps. Like I said it's a very long and tedious process getting the line up and running with SIAC. They are practically a government institution, and they don't move too fast for anybody.

Does anyone have experience in setting up a
