[c-nsp] 10GB redundant fiber between buildings able to pull off ethernet, DS-3, etc.

[Matthew Crocker]

I would keep the Ethernet and telco stuff separate,  assuming you  
have easy access to fiber.  You could build a 2 node OC-48 ring with  
Cisco 15454 gear pretty cheaply,  That will handle 48 DS-3s & OC-3  
circuits.   For ethernet just run 10G off a 7600 series
