You might be right about that, Joe.

exodus was one of the original battle.net servers used when they were hosted with AT&T, I thought it was disabled but maybe not.

Each of the servers were given a unique dns named after StarCraft characters long ago...  You just found out about this now?  lol.

Those are oldschool server names from the Days Longe Past.  They used to use those many moons ago, before they got into the geographic distinctions.  I believe they kept them around for backwards-compatibility.

I remember account numbers, but they were trashed.  A good idea, but it didn't work out :)

I thought that they were still hosted by AT&T? Every time I connect it says "Welcome to Battle.net! This server is hosted by AT&T. We have blahblah number of people playing blahblah number of games at this time."

They are. However B.net needs to update that message considering Cingular (sp?) now owns AT&T.
