Hi,
The folks at AMES and I cabled up the MAE-WEST facilities
there today and are waiting on MFS to enable the port so
that the two parts of MAE-WEST will talk to each other.
MCI is scheduled to come up early in the morning (03:00 ET! 
and Sprint to follow shortly there after.
NET99, Alternet, ESnet, NSI, and the RA Route Server are
already present.
