The situation with www.ncsa.uiuc.edu just got more bizar.

1) for little more than week now I cannot get any html page
from ncsa. (which used to work before, and on my site nothing changed)
2) while I cannot get anything from chem.rug.nl I *can* get it
indirectly via cc.ukans.edu (which I use very little to test how
a page looks on a line mode browser)

so it has nothing to do with the server being busy or so, ncsa simply
refuses me to connect to www.ncsa.uiuc.edu (even telnet to port 80
results in: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

ping to ncsa works, and so does traceroute, the ftp port number works too
(allthough on www.ncsa.uiuc.edu there is no anonymous ftp, nor did I expect
it, it was just another test to see if I could reach them)

What happened?
