I tried to use the command webster during telnet to a machine to find out
the meaning of a word. I have already 'add sipb' and ' add consult' in the
athena prompt , but such a message showed up:
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.
Did I do something wrong?
