[sane-devel] heads up: potential network disruption

As you may have heard, there is a potential for @Home shutting down
its network as early as tonight (midnight, Nov 30th).  Since
mostang.com is connected via @Home, this means that if they shut down
the network, so will the SANE web site and mailing list.

I'm still hoping it won't come to pass, but if it does, AT&T says that
they have a backup network in place so it would hopefully be at worst
a matter of a few days before everything is back up.  (The "several"
days is due to the fact that it will take a few days to get the DNS
updates propagated if the IP address of mostang.com changes.)

Sorry for the inconvenience.
