But nine years after a federal antitrust suit busted up the family, AT&T has transformed itself into an aggressive actor in communications and computers-even as its flashier competitor, IBM, gasps for breath (page 46). The change has been abrupt: by acquiring computer-maker NCR in 1991 and agreeing last month to pay $3.8 billion for one third of cellular-phone giant McCaw Communications, AT&T suddenly can offer a data-hungry world a broad array of computers and the wires, cables and radio devices to link them....
