Re: @Home: The chicken is run over
I can confirm Sean's report from the user's side... An aquaintence who used Excite@Home as one of their home connections in the San Francisco Bay Area with AT&T cable service reports they just got an automated call from AT&T which stated that it's down, it's because they're switching over to AT&T service on his connection, they expect it to be down for a day or two, and he'll recieve credits on his billing for the outage time (2 days for every day out). Apparently no word on DNS, Email addresses, etc. I guess the @Home creditors did in fact succeed in bargaining the shot-off big toe down to an amputated leg. -george william herbert gherbert@retro.com

e-mail addresses are supposed to simply s/@home.com/@attbi.com/ from the info I saw.
