Scott,

Close but the cigar stays put. Outbound stuff from here (UDel) snakes
out SURA, swims the Atlantic via uunet (at least a gateway calling itself
uunet) and sails via Sweden to Norway fjords. I can't see directly how
stuff lurches back, but I suspect the swimmers make landfall at JvNC.
The service is easily as bad as the worst of the old Phase-I NSFNET
backbone, and that says a lot.
