UUNET stops peering at MAE-West

Both AADS (Chicago) and PacBell (SF) have suffered through
not-ready-for-prime-time hardware.  Recent word (nanog) was
that PacBell was moving to a new improved switch (i.e., they are
going to switch switches).

MAE-West came about partially because of delays in getting
the SF NAP up and running.  

I should note that I don't see any issues going over the SF NAP from
my neck of the woods.

P.S.  It is sort of funny to have someone from domain atmnet.net
      ask about the state of an ATM NAP.  Kinda begging for someone
      in the "other camp" to bash ATM.
