	What sort of budget do you have?  You'd be surprised at
full T1 pricing (including loop) from Tier 1 providers right now..

	As an example, I'm getting service from one Teir 1
provider for about $770/mo (including TTL), and another for about
$880/mo (also including TTL)

	The last I checked, frac services were a substantial
portion of that, because they still need to provide the full T1
circuit, even if you aren't using all the channels.

    IBM is really really good at documentation. They may implement
    something so amazingly stupid it makes you slap your forehead,
    but darn if they don't document what they did. -- Kevin P. Neal
