So is there a better solution for someone that doesn't actually want a POP
there now? If PAIX is the smartest connection facilities wise, that is
where we want to be. Are 2 DS-3 connections per router allowed at PAIX?
That would be the best solution -- cohab a router at PAIX, DS-3 back to
our core and DS-3 up to Pacbell.
What am I missing?
