Webster doesn't respond anymore. It just says: 'send mail to bug-sipb'.
Hope Webster is still alive... I can't live without him....
Thanks,

It seems to be running fine for me.
Webster has a bug in it that causes it to hang if you try to look up a
long word that is either misspelled or that it does not know. "Long"
can be anything from seven to 25 characters. In any case, if you get
a message telling you to send mail, before you do so, try looking up a
simple word like "run" and see if you get a response. If you do, it's
safe to assume that the server does not know the word you are entering
in the spelling you are using.
