Peering points

Sun Apr 6 23:46:52 UTC 1997

I'm not trying to imply anything, just that there is a current limit on
customer connections there.  Your routing through Pennsauken seems to be
pretty event free, so maybe Sprint simply wants the NAP to stay optimum
and not overloaded.  This would be a Good Thing.
