I don't think you're gonna have much luck on this one. It's been
tried for years. And quite frankly I've never seen a thing in
a.b.boneless that you couldn't find somewhere else if you do a search
at http://www.binsearch.info/

Maybe somebody could answer this, does AT&T carry it on theirs?

Noting some of the others that are added, could you say what those technical

No. Well, in what aspect are you asking about here? I guess at the end
of the day, I don't really have any inside information on this subject
that you can't google-up yourself. So, I'm sticking with the no.

Gee, I just have no answers today, I guess. :-(

There is neaux @bellsouth.net in the pulldowns for the Boingo/AT&T
hotspots. There is of course @att.net @sbcglobal.com @other att
properties, etc...

Next time you have a sitdown/conference with the other newsguys, put in a
request for me. Just looking for other free ways to fill the BS pipe void
without having to switch my service or get an additional provider...
