Heh heh heh.. I couldn't help but comment on the "friggen' T1 direct to
sprintlink"  outside of the fact that EN/APK/Multiverse all have one or more
T1's (to MCI/Oarnet/Net99/whoever) while ready Infoworld yesterday I came
across a great little article :

"In the Internet Collapse vs. Free Enterprise match, the score is 1 to 1.
Bob Metcalfe gets a point from Sprint, which has started to kick
some IP addresses off its network during periods of peak load.  It beats
collapse, I guess, but shomehow, monitoring the on-ramp of a freeway and
kicking of fall the Fords doesn't seem like brilliant engineering"
Infoworld, April 22, 1996 Pg 74 "Internet Update"

Yeah... what a great backbone provider to be connected to :)
