Well, MFS (www.mfs.net) is the company that set up MAE-east and MAE-west.
They were bought out by WorldCom, as was UUnet.
The old ca-ix peering point wasn't going anywhere (don't know why for sure),
so UUnet set up a new peering point in Toronto (I think down in the Front
St. area).  I believe CAIP (www.caip.ca) was somehow involved.
Anyway, if you do enough traceroutes, you'll see that all the above
interconnect in Toronto.
The reason I want a BGP route query is to find out how they are using their
interconnections (just being interconnected doesn't mean they actually route
traffic through that connection all the time)
