[nsp] Suggestions on terminating a bunch of T1's

[Kenny Stoltz]

Actually our LEC (who is not a bell) believes that CT3 is cheaper and 
OC3 (of CT3s) is cheaper still, despite the fact they had to do the 
buildout. The argument we used was that if they simply handed us off the 
CT3, we would "buy the mux, buy the shelf cards, handle the OAM 
ourselves." This is about a $50k savings for 3 T3s. Of course I didn't 
mention we'd be plugging them into cisco hardware.
