We don't have AT&T DSL lines here but use T1's. They weathered the storm just fine but went dead on Wednesday afternoon when the batteries at the CO ran out. It took them until Friday to get something back up. Then while I had my T1's online I had no layer 2 connectivity which was due to somebody plugging a switch back into itself at a switching center (the words that came over the phone from the tech wherever he was are not appropriate for e-mail but I had 5 different AT&T reps on one conf call trying to figure out why none of our site-site WAN links were working)

Everything in the office came back up once we got a network connection and we've been getting mail pouring in from the backup MX since yesterday. I'd thought that a TTL of one week on our DNS records would be fine but on Monday afternoon they all expired. I need to rethink our Hurricane plans - the current setup made sense back in 1999 but needs work now. Interestingly enough, our AT&T phone line stayed up the entire time... time to revisit their DSL access plans I think. Also, I need a firewall at home that runs off 12V.
