indeed.  it's rare these days that a noc is given enough budget and authority
to do a good job.  as286 predated the dotcom boom (and bust) by a lot of years
and was a fine bunch of folks from the earliest days to the final days.

it's really sad to see a successful enterprise swept up by a boom/bust cycle.
(i guess anybody who was able to cash out their equity from the kpn/qwest deal
saw it as a good thing, but older customers probably wish it hadn't happened.)
