Be careful there.  Thank you for clarifying Idirect's false advertising
for us.  IDirect OTTAWA is *NOT* multi-homed.  It is singularly-homed to
Idirect Toronto via a 10Meg ATM circuit.

Singularly homed, non-T3 connections...makes you just want to shake your
head.  How, pray tell, does a company such as Idirect get away with such
false advertising?  Sad, sad, sad.

With sincerity, I say it's a shame to see you go.  Newforce was one of the
ISP's in Ottawa that welcomed and faced competition fairly.
