[off-topic] old NSFNET regionals?

 Sorry for the off-topic post.

 BTW, many thanks for the responses on a San Diego interexchange point.
 To summarize: CRL has a local access point that does FR and ATM up to
 DS3 speeds, and PCH is building one "in the next 8 weeks or so".

 Does anyone remember the NSF-sponsored regional networks? Can you fix 
 this table--this is off the top of my head so I am missing a few networks.
