Folks, we got a BIG problem!!!!

In another news group, our lovable phone corporation (AT&T) has announced they
will NO LONGER ALLOW THIRD PARTY ROUTING through their backbones (i.e, ihnp4,
cbosgd and att). I believe these are MAJOR backbone sites!!

This disconnection will occur sometime in July (I think!!). We're gonna have
a real problem if we cannot get other sites to allow our data feeds.

AT&T says they no longer want to pay for our mailings and routings. Only stuff
pertinent to AT&T business will be allowed through these backbones.

Please don't flame me for the inexactness of the cutoff date (I just honestly
don't recall it). This is NO JOKE, I believe the posting is genuine.
