Why is it that AT&T only has a few gateways to the internet.
As far as i know there is:
research.att.com (murray hill)
att.att.com
att-in.att.com
There are probably more than that, but why only so few?
BellCore has tons of connections to the internet.
They only allow people to telnet out and refuse finger
connection, but at least they one can get to the rest
of the world. On a select few machines they allow people
to telnet it, this allows people to take advantage of
internet gateways around the world. Right now I am logged
in to Rutgers via the Princeton gateway. Sure beats dialing
in at low speed.
Is AT&T going to give their employee's internet access?

While I worked at AT&T, I had full access via the cbnewsX machines. These machines allow ftp,telnet,netnews acess. The fact that they have only a few machines on the internet I personally don't see a problem.....it hides/protects your machines/network. -- Bradley Smith Network & Technical Services @ Bradley University, Peoria, IL brad@bradley.edu --- 309-677-2337

The fact that you can only reach a few AT&T sites on the internet
doesn't mean AT&T employees can't get to their home machine from
the Internet. We can get hand-held authenticators and login through
one of the Internet gateways to any AT&T machine, as described by
Bill Cheswick in his Anaheim Usenix paper.
