Whelp I used to work for that company - and I know that 199.0.65.0/24 is
on a FDDI ring shared by 2 7507's and all common services are on that ring
- each 7507 has a HSSI with a DS3 to different exchanges to UUNET - so
you're right if UUNET goes down then it is dead - I know the 2 DS3's
terminate diferently but they will be down if UUNET is...
