They back into uunet somewhere around atlanta, for this area at
least. Bounces through 2-4 hops..the general idea seems to be to drop a
pop at the CO of the lata, and frame all the lata's customers to that pop,
then aggregate and run back to atlanta.
The jax circuit we had appeared to go somewhere else first, then to
atlanta. Tampa, i suspect, but I'm really unfamiliar with the Flordia
telco operations.

Oh, agreed! One should certianly have a clear, and complete,
understanding of where their circuits terminate, how they get there, and
where they go from there and plan accordingly. (and I'm not going to think
about how many grammar rules I just ignored..)
