A useful starting point, though I would suggest adding a digit to each of these
to allow a +/-HIGH and +/- LOW on the values. However, experimentation with
pathalias must be done to ensure that this does the correct thing. Note that
this means that it is better to go through 350 dedicated lines than to use
one long haul line, though this may be a technicality.
