Yeah, but I wasn't talking about leasing an entire AARNet connection to
the States -- instead, I was talking about how much of a pipe Microplex
could get for $100,000 a year.
I'm doing research now, and I'll post results to the list when I have
them as to how much it'd cost for various line sizes with various
options...
