The direct interconnection between MCI and Sprint is in the Chicago area rather than in Denver. The connection speed is OC12 rather than DS3 :-)
Hmm... Do the routers at both ends actually think it's OC12? /John
Sorry, it was a joke (read ":-)") in replying to the original question "what kind link it is". Doing OC12 between routers is still a dream today ... -- Enke

Yes, there are products that claim to do OC-12, but they do not work. Then there are router that can do OC-12, but the the software needs a LOT of work (a few years).
