Hi chuck. I get absolutely no response from www.dict.org either. I tried looking atthe site with nmap, and got no response. I also tried pointing lynx at it and got no response either. So it's either really down, or they really don't want anyone accessing it. I don't no what port my server is on, so I'll have to check. Once I find out, and set things up on my router, you could try using dict --host collinsnet.net, but it will be a while before I can check that out. I'll let you know when I'm ready to try.
