As was previously noted on this mailing list, ours appear at:

Level 3's guidelines appear at:

Also, then-current interconnection policies were filed with the FCC last
year by UUNet and Sprint, and in 1998 by UUNet and internetMCI, in
conjunction with their respective attempted mergers.  They are tricky to
find, but the last time that I checked they were all still available on the
FCC's electronic document system at www.fcc.gov.  See, for instance:

and
