Re: MAE-EAST / MAE-WEST Interfaces

Ive heard different stories.  Of course UUNET.  There was an anouncement
from Quest.net (not Quest) a small ISP in Ft Lauderdale that was connecting
to ATM MAE Dallas.  ATM MAE-W is not up.  MAE-E ATM is in test mode with a
handfull of people.  Im still asking for exactly who is there.

If anyone has see the MAE ATM doc they are charging for setup of PVC, $50 a
shot a side, and also any config changes they make.  They dont understand
NAPs are not under Tarrif.  Pacbell does not charge for these services.
However they are still in flux so we'll see what the final policies are.

Has anyone had any feedback from their MFS/Worldcom reps?  Has anyone
experienced any problems during the testing?  Issues with the Stratacom?
