Yes, of course, the 7010 is the same size as the 7505. Must have had cognitive dissonance. But yes, *when racks are available*, it's generally whole-rack-rental from MFS at Gallows. The other approach is to extend MAE-East to you in the NOVA area by buying a package which includes a dedicated or shared FDDI port, two Netedges, and a T3 in between the Netedges. My guess is that it's 50-50 or maybe 60-40 in favor of the Netedge approach, but collocating is definitely a more stable way to connect. Avi - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
