I'm in the UK and my ISP is Demon. There was no error message from your site,
but the standard message was from the browser (IE5) reporting that it couldn't
establish a connection.

After the report here that it was working, I took it up with Demon and I
discovered that accessing your site directly, instead of going through the
Demon proxy server, worked. This is the first time that going via a proxy
server has caused me problems so I didn't think to check this first.

However, I did try to ping your site prior to posting here, but got no
response. Are you filtering ICMP packets ? Is anyone else in the UK having
problems going via the Demon proxy server to www.adaic.org ?

Thanks for any responses,

Simon.
