Would someone be so kind as to email me a list of the Exchanges that
matter? I.E., which ones qualify when calculating your connections for
peering?
Is it just the 4 NAP's and MAE-East and MAE-West?
Also, do any of you have any comments on whether peering standards might
be relaxed if you are setting up a statewide educational network?

Ameritech NAP
Atlanta NAP 
MAE-East
MAE-West
PACBell NAP
Sprint NAP
CIX may be worth connecting to as a sales thing, and PAIX is not worth
connecting to yet because there are so many NAPs in that area.

Hmm, possible, but don't count on it. If I were you, I would get connected
to the NAPs ASAP because it will get harder and harder to peer with the
big guys as times moves on.
