MFS said they'd keep the 10 mbps in place. I certainly want to start with Alternet as my backup. We can do MCI a little later on if you feel they are more appropriate. I'll leave that up to you.

Don't hestiate to use more AS numbers if you want .... I'd keep the configuration as flexible as possible, especially since we don't know the final configuration of this network yet.

Agreed ... we start with UUnet.
