Some questions about AT&T that I forgot to add to my original email:

Are others experiencing DNS issues? Mine are kind of sporadic...for
instance, mail.attbi.com will resolve most of the time, but not others,
same with google and others. Instead, their "newuser" page comes up when
web browsing. Pretty annoying, esp. since we probably won't be reimbursed
for stuff like this...

I've had to spend a lot of time going and
resubscribing to mailing lists as it was, and this has made all the more
difficult because some web pages haven't worked (denverjug.org being another
that wasn't resolving at all for me until later today).

ObLinux: Does anyone have much experience with setting up cache-only DNS
servers? This might help with the sporadic resolving issues...esp. with the
mail server. Also, in my ipchains script I run from rc.local, I used to have
my hard-coded IP value in it. Is there any way to substitute stuff in their
for "current IP number for a certain interface"? 

Also, how about a DHCP server?  Anyone out there done that?  I doubt I'll
really need to do this as I hope that their nameservers aren't changing
much, but it'd probably be good to do.
