I use a Mac and dial into Cornell University's mainframe. The first
time I tried I couldn't get to Roman's list; the second time (last night)
I got through and found a great multiplicity of links to Russian and
Slavic department at universities round the world; just now I tried again
(repeatedly) and got a message
" ! Netscape is unable to locate the server:
 www.cs.ut.ee
The server does not have a DNS entry.

Check the server name in the Location (URL)
and try again. "
This happens no matter whether I try http://www.cs.ut.ee/~roman_l/rusweb.html
or http://www.cs.ut.ee/.
I find this on-and-off-again behavior mysterious.
