That was probably me, after I saw the odd call on my live off-the-air 
map on my UIwebserver!


My ISP is "ATT/Yahoo Internet" formerly "SBC"  formerly "Southwestern 
Bell" formerly "Pacific Bell" a.k.a."PacBell".    Have you ever noticed 
how the old domains, router names, etc tend to stick around behind the 
current  "nom-du-jour"  forever after the endless mergers, acquisitions 
and company name changes in the telecomm business???
