Our hosting company reports that the server holding our site (and a
number of others) was broken into and trashed yesterday. They got it
running for a while yesterday, but its now inoperative. They built and
deployed a spare server, which was attacked the same way. This server
supposely had all of the current patches. A second attempt also failed.
This morning, they finally were able to trace the attack vector, and
they've rebuilt yet another server which is supposed to be fully up
(with the sites restored) in a couple of hours. We'll see.

In the mean time, I suggest using the backup server at www.adaic.com. I
host that server here specifically so that it is very unlikely that both
servers fail at the same time. (But www.adaic.com has a substantially
slower connection to the Internet, so access to large files will be
slower.)

Thanks for the info; all of my bookmarks use www.adaic.org. At least the 
AdaIC is still in business.

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.
