I scheduled a service call over the weekend, but got a voice mail this
morning saying that there was a network outage in the area (San
Mateo/Foster City) and they cancelled my service call.  
I never thought I'd here that from att ;).

Now my modem is doing other strange things like losing connection, but
the lights remain on and the power button doesn't work.  Previously, I
would just renew my dhcp lease ("dhcpcd -n" over and over until i got a
valid lease), but now it just times out -- according to the firewall logs.

Maybe they finally realized
that their dhcp server is dodgy.  Makes me long for the days of @home and
the legit static IP.

It looks like ATTbi is blocking all ports.  SSH used to work for me --
called a friend, had him try to connect, no dice.  Then I moved it to
some obscure high ports, but met no success.  Now I'm seriously pissed!
