Works fine here. I've seen earlier reports to the same effect (or was that
you ? I dont remember) but it works fine form here. You'd best investigate
what is failing for you: finding the site, connecting to the site, or
getting an answer from the parnassus part of vex.net. Can you reach
www.vex.net ? If not, can you telnet to it, on port 80 ? If that fails,
there's a problem with your network connection to www.vex.net -- you'd best
contact your internet provider to see what's wrong. Maybe someone on the way
to vex.net is blackholing you, or your ISP. Or perhaps there is a problem
routing specific networks from your ISP (we've seen similar problems here,
we were unable to reach cnn.com and a few other sites because two unrelated
(as far as we know) backbones changed their connection ;)
