They have changed backbone vendors. This has affected both the dialup
numbers (except the Brookline number) as well as the IP address. 

- - -------------------------- From their web site data 9/19/2003
Consequently, and with extremely short notice, we felt compelled to
change vendors rather than be caught in a self-renewing contract not in
the best interest of our customers or business.

This change will have little effect on most customers other than brief,
intermittent, service interruptions over the next few days beginning
Sunday (9/21) at 6 PM as we reconfigure our network. We will try to keep
these to a minimum and inform you as best we can.

(I would have preferred that they would have sent email to all the
customers). 

BTW: I was able to ping world.std.com but not TheWorld.com
