[net.news.config] What has become of nwuxd?

greg@ncr-sd.UUCP (Greg Noel) (08/23/85)

A phone number and UUCP login were advertised for one-way messages
directly to AT&T's customer support group.  I put it in my L.sys
file and it seemed to work.  Since I like to be sure that all of
my connections are healthy, I poll them every month or so.  I
haven't been able to get through for a couple of months now -- the
phone doesn't answer.  Is there a problem with this site?  Does it
still exist?  Has the direct login policy been discontinued?  Why did
AT&T advertise the connection if they weren't going to support it?

nwuxb is no longer used for customer (trenter) logins.
You should now call cuuxb. Same login and password.
