To whom it may concern:

Below please find the error messages I got when looking up some words.  They
suggest that the servers are down.

Thanks for your attention.

The webster servers have failed to answer the request to look up your word.
This could be because the webster server is down, or because your word is
too long and the server can't find it.  Try looking up "tree" -- if that
works, then you've probably misspelled your word.  If it fails, then send
mail to bug-sipb@ATHENA.MIT.EDU to let the SIPB know that the servers are
broken.
