We are looking to expand our network and establish a POP in Chicago; it is =
expect that we will focus on 350 East Cermak.  Can anyone provide recommend=
ations on Colo providers?  We will only really need enough space to deploy =
a modest router and the power it requires.  As we won't be able to do work =
on site, given its remote location to us, a colo provider who provides a re=
mote hands service is a requirement.

I'm also curious if anyone can comment on the Equinix IX that is there.  Ou=
r only experience today with an IX is with TorIX, which has been extremely =
positive, and I'm not sure what significant differences I should expect if =
any.

Thanks,
