Nysernet seems to have lots of problems.  I run Wizvax Communications
and have accounts at RPI (1 block away physically).  There are times
when I can't get a telnet connection to rpi as the packets die in the
nysernet network (according to traceroute).  Packets tend to die most
often in steps 5-8 when there are problems and there tend to be problems
fairly often.
