RE: AT&T Problems yesterday (and continuing today...)

We too have had problems because of this.  Over 50% of our sights are
now unreachable via the WAN.  Oh wait, I just pinged one that wasn't
working and got a response.  Maybe things are looking up!

        Ditto.

         We lost 100% of our remotes at around the same time.  As
        of 6:00am this morning 0% despite ATT's claim that 70%
        was up.  As of 11:30 central we are batting about 50%
        (.500 for you purists).

        Our dial backup was switched line's.  The most we can
        support centrally is 3....it worked just not enough coverage.
        The other down-side to our backup is the speed is slower.

        This is one way to ruin a day and highlight the disaster
        plan.
