Just as long as consumer ISPs don't start filtering *110* inbound from
the net... as AT&T used to.  I had a client move from dialup to
cablemodem about 10 years ago... and it took us a *week* to get AT&T to
admit they didn't accept inbound POP pickups.  Client (intemperately) had
printed the att.com email address of lots of crap -- they had to keep the
dialup for a long time, since at&t wouldn't forward either...

Thank ghod I'm out of the jungle now...
