WotC's having a hard time of it, but it's been indicated that they plan to just use more freelancers - they've already done this with some people they laid off, like Monte Cook. Between this and the Open Gaming License, support for D&D will always be available.
That said, the biggest progress in RPG's lately has been from smaller, independent creators. Check out The Forge - tons of people all working on their own creator-owned games.
My connection with AT&T in Seattle was back up as of Sunday morning. It's not @Home anymore, though - they changed us to a new network (.attbi.com - AT&T Broadband Internet.)
After the first six hours of slow connectivity, with everyone all trying to get e-mail at once, it actually seems faster than the @Home access.
