Are you saying that MFS will not allow a private connection between two
routers located at the MAE facility, even if the connection is _not_ made
using the MAE FDDI switch, but is instead a direct (e.g. HSSI or AIP)
connection between the two routers?? If so, I haven't seen any
documentation to that effect...
