Just to add my $0.02, I had very quick responses from HE.net; they called
me about 5 minutes after I emailed noc@ and we both recorded then entered
passwords.  Level3 was a bit slower to call (about 1/2 hour), but we have
to go through a reseller.  Still a very quick turnaround.

Level3 apparently has a fairly automated system; it generated a random
password and when the guy hit a "deploy" button, the session bounced about
10 seconds later and came back up w/the key in place.

Kudos to both, I thought that in the mad rush I'd be waiting for a few
days.
