Fiber from Kansas City to Dallas usually goes through Wichita. Hmmmm.... I just ran a Mulvane NPA/NXX, and the CLLI indicates that Mulvane is a WCHTKS CO. Perhaps there is some local fiber, although I'd think that it's too fast for Mulvane speed limits. ;-) Watch out for speed traps if you ever have the misfortune of driving through^W^W^W^W opportunity to visit Mulvane... </edge_dweller_speculation_and_commentary> Eddy --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brotsman & Dreger, Inc. - EverQuick Internet Division Phone: +1 (316) 794-8922 Wichita/(Inter)national Phone: +1 (785) 865-5885 Lawrence --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon, 21 May 2001 11:23:58 +0000 (GMT) From: A Trap <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: Please ignore this portion of my mail signature.
