Yes, John, I've been reading NANOG long enough to be aware that there
are hundreds of ways to do it wrong.

There are about a dozen ways to do it right, too.

There are only about 40 ISPs in this area, OC-3 is probably overkill...
not to mention whether it's actually _available_ reasonably, but you'll
notice that's where I started.
