[ale] Uverse in general and with linux server?

[Scott McBrien]

I've only seen them block port 25.  You can only run 4 tvs  
simultaneously and only 2 of them can be HD.  The argument is that how  
often do you have more than 2 or 4 tvs on simultaneously?

The other Internet issue I had with them is that their equipment is  
very unhappy with multiple routers on the network, caused me some  
initial grief when we swithched.
