*.att.com, aka att.arpa, has indeed been suffering lately.  A combination
of temporary absence of its tenders, sour routing information, and
(most fundamentally) an attempt to stuff ten pounds of communication
in a five pound bag nearly did it in.

The situation is a bit better now thanks to some reconfiguration.
For the longer term, we are planning to get more capacious
hardware.

For the short term, be persistent, and please accept our apologies.
