Puerto Rico Peering Point, or existence thereof.

Actually I know there was something of an IX starting down there 
about 1999.  I believe it was in the small cellular companies 
facility.  One of the guys from Netrail, Nathan Estes, went down to 
help them out for a week.  The name escapes me but perhaps he could 
post it here if he recalls the details.

At the time they had about 6 muxed T1s if I remember and were looking 
at either bringing in a tier1 or getting a DS3 back to the states.
