Given that TM were leaking into 3549, one may infer that Level(3)'s
tight screws have not yet completely filtered down to the GBLX network
of old. Conjecture on my part...

It is no secret that Level(3)'s IRR client is broken, and as others have
mentioned before, it's reasonably common to give them a call and get the
spanner rammed over its head for the thing to work. Whether they are
using the same for the GBLX network, or if the GBLX network is the nasty
cousin we don't care about until he leaves the house, is an exercise
left to all of us.

Mark.
