WC recently showed me the error of my ways. 
The IXC, was, and is, "IXC", not "IXE". (Sorry, to both parties)
(I should have known, I *know* IX"C"... good people)
There are technicals on site now. Patches are being installed, and
cable prep is occurring.....
However, no promises yet....
My thanks to WC for the prompt update !
Possible affected regions: Dallas, Phoenix, El Paso, San Diego, LA.
I am actually getting to *like* WC ...
I *know* it's time to go home.
Where is my hive... Er...
