[TriLUG] At&t's Uverse comments needed.

[Chris Merrill]

FWIW, I run my server at home using UVerse.  Mail, web and media server.
No problems thus far...though IIRC, I did need to call tech support and
escalate to a higher level to get them to turn off blocking on port 25.

Otherwise, everything is fine. Outgoing speed is higher than we could
get on our TWC/BC connection at work...that we pay 4x as much for.
