Yup, I mis-spoke earlier - we'll have 10BaseT lines off the hub. Still
working out the details.
BTW - Merit will also have a local dial-in # for registered NANOG attendees
- to get an assigned dial-in authentication userid/password, send me e-mail
with the subject line: "ACCESS ID Please" or see me at NANOG on Thursday A.M.
Cheers -
Bill
