   Excuse me, but let's keep our folklore straight. Merit, the current
   babysitter of this fine collection of high-speed toys we call the
   NSFnet does a quite good job. It might surprise you that Merit is a
   joint venture between IBM and MCI.

It might surprise Merit too.  They have been around for a number of
years doing networking around the state of Michigan.  

Obdisclaimer: I don't work for Merit.
