To follow on to this:

The hosting company had a hardware failure in the new machine that they
set up. When it rains, it pours, I guess. Anyway, they finally got the
servers fully up around midnight CST last night. (I was working on a
contingency plan in case they failed...) So www.adaic.org should be
working again.
