Don't forget to add AT&T to that list for not having the web sites in
their messages about this last week not being reachable.  Bastards.
Anyone been able to get to newuser.attbi.com?

And that was my first ever post to /., too.  Thanks for the huzzah.

Unfortunately, I didn't have a working connection this morning.
Someone a bit later on in the thread (in Texas, I believe) was saying
that the DHCP servers were working for him.  I didn't get around to
trying that before I had to leave for work...
