Whats funny is I got 2 private emails from BellSouth engineering types that did not know they were being installed in this region.
Come on, isn't that just a slightly ludicrous remark? ;) Funny enough BellSouth is a huge company (somewhere beyond 100k employees if I remember correctly) and IP geeks in the ISP part of the company many not be intimately familiar with the myriad of products the phone company is brewing up for its various field deployments. To expect that anyone from anywhere is intimately familiar with everything everybody does at any given point in time is just flatout insane ;-).. For all I care, as long as it looks like a T1 at the edge of the network, performs like one, it could be anything in the middle. Including, but not limited to T1 spoofed by means of various PairGain gear, the usual suspects of optical contraptions, MPLS, microwave, RFC1149, or perhaps SneakerNet. But, nice try at a stab, tho. ;) -- Christian Kuhtz <ck@arch.bellsouth.net> -wk, <ck@gnu.org> -hm Sr. Architect, Engineering & Architecture, BellSouth.net, Atlanta, GA, U.S. "I speak for myself only.""
