I guess SNPP is still a thing:

$ host snpp.att.net <http://snpp.att.net>
snpp.att.net <http://snpp.att.net> is an alias for snpp.att.unimobile.com <http://snpp.att.unimobile.com>.
snpp.att.unimobile.com <http://snpp.att.unimobile.com> is an alias for snpp-att.gmes.syniverse.com 
<http://snpp-att.gmes.syniverse.com>.
snpp-att.gmes.syniverse.com <http://snpp-att.gmes.syniverse.com> has address 173.209.208.78
