OT*AT&T Update: Today AT&TBI went up in Pittsburgh. My friend got on, no problem but after spending an hour on the phone on hold an another hour checking this and that, the tech determined that my modem was one of the few in their system that is not "DOXIS" complaint. Whatever the hell THAT means. It's THEIR modem, but if I wait for THEM to replace it, I'll have to wait 3-5 days for them to call me (maybe) then SCHEDULE a visit who-know-when. I plan to go to COMPUSA and buy a new modem tomorrow. Then I'll have to wait 24-48 days AFTER jumping thru the phone hoops again for them to log the new modem into the system. Can anyone explain "DOXIS" to me and, if you are a technogeek, tell me of any additional curveballs I should watch out for. Man I hate AT&T. Goes back all the way to the MABELL days.
