Looks like someone, or more, is upset with the lack of Bellsouth's abuse system. So, they have G-Lined Bellsouth's IP range, so all of us who use that ISP, can no longer use their IRC servers. Bellsouth covers a lot of the eastern USA, so untill this ban is lifted, there will be a few IRC users missing, and I am one of them.

BellSouth is notorious for forwarding mail sent to abuse@bellsouth.net to the bit bucket.
