Att, in their infinite wisdom, list a marvin in their entry.  When, oh
WHEN will that att brain-damage stop and these hundreds of machines
domainified?

A friend, who works for Bellcore in Morristown, NJ, is on machine
"thumper" there.  The internal "netdir" command on AT&T's Datakit
network told me that I could get to thumper over the Datakit network.
I was amazed that I could get to a Bellcore computer over AT&T's own
network, so I tried the destination it gave me, to no avail.  I finally
sent mail to the person who maintains netdir, and he informed me that
the "thumper" that was on Datakit was a laser printer.  :-(

Machine att (the main gateway) can handle domainized addresses, so
maybe it is only a matter of time before the powers what be at AT&T
convert fully to domainized addresses in their map entry.
