Over the last year while reading various technical forums about WAN
connectivity, I've found that sometimes you'll find some techs or lowly
sales rep at some Bell regions are clueless, and confuse 'We've never done
that before' with 'We CAN'T do that'.

I'm not saying you're wrong, or you've been given wrong information, I'm
just saying...investigate further. Don't take no for an answer too
easily.

Good luck.
