On 1 March 02 cox@home switched their services from infrastructure hosted
on hardware by Excite to "native" hardware. All @home.com addresses are
now invalid. Grepping through the source for these invalid addresses
produced the following:
drivers/net/de4x5.c mmporter@home.com
drivers/scsi/megaraid.c johnsom@home.com
drivers/scsi/ppa.h johncavan@home.com
drivers/scsi/imm.h johncavan@home.com
drivers/sound/aci.c pellicci@home.com
drivers/media/video/bttv-cards.c daniel.herrington@home.com
Most addresses for home.com users simply switched to cox.net addresses.
However, email to the above users at cox.net bounced in four out of five
cases. I am posting here in hopes that theses users are still on the
mailing list and will respond. If no response is received I would like to
submit a patch adding comments to the source code indicating the addresses
are no longer valid and no new email addresses are known.
Note: The above addresses also exist in the 2.5 tree. I also intend to
submit a patch for the comments in the 2.5 tree. Following is a patch to
correct my email address in the 2.4 tree. This patch is against 2.4.18.

/s/cox.net/your_local_cable_provider.whatever.

Cox cable switched to cox.net. Comcast switched to comcast.net and so forth.
Unless you know that persons local cable provider there is no way to know
their new address without input from them or someone that knows them.
Excite was responsible for ALL of the @home addresses for the various
MSO's that had contracts with them.

Uh, no. I think (but am not sure) that more @home.com addresses became
@attbi.com than @cox.net. Even if I'm wrong about that, I'm almost certain
that more became @attbi.com + @rogers.ca + @shaw.ca + @charterpipeline.com
+ @comcast.net + ... than @cox.net. (It's possible that I made errors in
the past sentence, perhaps confusing .com and .net stuff or the like, but
even in the face of such errors I think my point still stands.)

I wouldn't be surprised if four out of five weren't with Cox in the first
place.

FYI it's @rogers.com not @rogers.ca, if anyone cares.

In the Seattle area, all of these addresses were moved to the attbi.com
domain.
In fact, I never heard anything about cox.com, didn't AT&T buy @home? I know
they have since sold it but my email address hasn't changed again.

cox.net, you mean -- that's the domain name for e-mail accounts on Cox
High-Speed Internet (which replaced Cox@Home).

I don't remember the exact details; I think AT&T tried to buy it but the
@Home bondholders managed to kill the deal with their legal manuverings,
or something to that effect. So, AT&T never got to buy @Home.
> I know they have since sold it
No, it was liquidated at the beginning of the month -- AT&T never owned
it.

Because you're on AT&T's own network now, the same way that Thomas Molina
and I are on Cox's own network, etc.
