Thanks for all the responses... yesterday was a very odd day for the internet and myself.. I couldn't figure it out for the life of me. ;)
I couldn't hit www.rom.org, nor could I send any mail to most places. I hadn't heard from the list since last Sunday and I wasn't sure if it was just slow at the time, or my connection. I received email from my work account when running a few tests, but when doing a replying from my home it didn't go through until today. Did a traceroute on my outgoing email box and its 4 hops away.. while yesterday, while doing the same on my incoming box, it was placed 16+ hops away and died on the route... threw me for a loop. The attach against UUNET would explain it. Problems resolved today. Thanks again folks - Much appreciated!
