You will be able to do BGP peering with Sprint. Sprint will not be
able to help you setup your peering (on your side) if you do not have
a Cisco router. The best Sprint can do to help you with your
configuration is say "you should be able to do X somehow". As you
stated in your email, you know how to configure your box so this is
not an issue.
