"This is the owner's manual that they're providing to the cable industry to monopolize the Internet," Frank- Here's one to check out. On my AT&T/TCI @home connection, when I want to access the Sprint home page as sprint.com I can see the DNS server resolve the name but I get the familiar screen which says that the server is either busy or not available. I then dial up my backup ISP Pacbell.net and ask for Sprint and I do not have any problems using the same machine and browser. Has AT&T blocked the Sprint home page which is currently offering a hot 5 cent per minute evening calling plan? Are they using the CISCO feature? If anyone else has the AT&T/TCI connection, give it a try and report the results.
