That's more or less what I told her to tell her university computer
people, especially the DNS.  They say they can't find the problem.

Then there is the sometimes connection refused problem, which I mentioned
in my follow posting, to which I suggested perhaps her system was giving
up too quickly, not making enough conncection attempts, or not spacing
them out enough.   Is that a likely possibility?  I also suggested she
try some time other than 8am (10 am Buffalo time) every time.

Anyway, with one or the other she has not been able to post to the
list for weeks.              Douglas
