David,

Actually, we will be moving our HPCC router sometime in the next
week or two, and at that point the VC will need to go to port 1A3
instead of port B2. Therefore, could you please add a VC 0.101
between ports B1 and A3 on the Goddard NREN switch, making it a
multipoint VC. That way, we can make the move transparently,
and just delete the 0.101 VC between ports B1 and B2 after our
router has been moved and is operational in its new location.

-Thanks

-Bill
