Hi Frank, I first became aware of the MAEs in mid to late '95. At that time I only heard them described as exchanges. Your's is the first reference I have heard to them as Ethernets. What was MFS smokin'? At that time it was mostly a WCOM and Sprint deal, taking over from NSFnet, at least on the left coast. Speaking of MAE West, she said: "Don't let a man put anything over on ya 'cept an umbrella." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Man: "You were wonderful tonight." MW: "I'm always wonderful at night." Man: "Tonight I thought you were especially good." MW: "When I'm good I'm very good, but when I'm bad I'm better." Man: "If I could only trust you ..." MW: "You can ... hundreds have." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Man: "You ain't scared of me 'cause they say I'm a bad man?" MW: "I'm a good woman for a bad man." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Judge: "Let me remind you to look out for crooks." MW: "Let the crooks look out for themselves." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ MW: "We're intellectual opposites." Ivan: "What do you mean?" MW: "I'm intellectual and your opposite." Man (bristling): "I'm an aristocrat, and the backbone of my family." MW: "Your family ought to see a chiropractor." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So many men, so little time. It's not the men in my life; it's the life in my men. Anything worth doing is worth doing slowly. I only like two kinds of men: domestic and foreign. Give a man a free hand and he'll run it all over you. I've been in more laps than a napkin. I used to be Snow White, but I drifted. -- Mae West He who hesitates is a damned fool. She's the kind of girl who climbed the ladder of success wrong by wrong. Whenever I'm caught between two evils, I take the one I've never tried. I generally avoid temptation unless I can't resist it. Too much of a good thing is wonderful. When choosing between two evils I always like to take the one I've never tried before. Once, during a trial in which she was accused of indecency on stage, the judge asked, "Miss West, are you trying to show contempt for this court?" She answered, "On the contrary, your Honor, I was doin' my best to conceal it." I've been rich and I've been poor. Believe me, rich is better. I always say, keep a diary, and some day it'll keep you. It ain't no sin if you crack a few laws now and then. As long as you don't break any. It's better to be looked over than overlooked. When I'm good, I'm good. When I'm bad, I'm very good. Is that a gun in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me? -- Now where was I? Oh, aren't the MAEs becoming obsolete? Due to what Yogi Berra had to say: "Oh, those, they're so popular no one goes there any more...." Above nut, Ray
