[rescue] Boy, am I glad I didn't switch to Cable modem service...

[bran tregare]

actually, at&t doesn't even have email servers of their own yet :(  @ home 
is providing the servers that actually run the whole shebang, at at t only is 
providing the wire and the bidirectional datapath... they are currently 
building their own network infrastructure so if @ home shuts down they can 
switch the users over to their system...
