Fwd: ATT/Comcast switchover occurring today...

Public service announcement...

Comcast (former AT&T Broadband) is officially switching over the
domain names for their mailservers today.  If you know someone at an
email address of the 'attbi.com' domain <*cough*>, it's changing to
'comcast.net'; moreover, said users won't be able to connect and check
their email (and sadly wondering why no one writes...) until they make
some manual configuration adjustments, unless they ran the 'auto-config
wizard', and rebooted this morning.

May the net-gods have mercy on their servers if they happened to run the
'auto-config wizard'.

If you were one such person (and it _worked_ <gasp>) you may want to note
that it will automatically enter your comcast email address into ALL your
browsers (generally a bad thing if you want to avoid spam) in addition to
other effects.  Also note it will update and overwrite your default
web-page for your browsers.

More information may be found on the link for manual configuration at
http://connect.comcast.net -- though curiously enough their web-server
seems to be timing out a lot right now...
