PS There is a proof by existance that reliable operation w/o customer multihoming is possible. It is called POTS.

Reminds me of a couple of weeks ago, when my PacBell sales reps were talking to me from the parking lot of their building in Salinas, on their carphones, because they couldn't place calls outside of the LATA from their desks. The only people claiming that their networks don't do down are people who haven't been in the business long enough to watch it happen. -matthew kaufman matthew@scruz.net
