  We have problem in using the Webster checker on gnu-emacs. After we type
the M-x webster and check a word. The machine attempts to connect the webster
server but it does not go through and we get the message 
"Process webster exited abnormally with code 1". It did not happen
before. It seems that the server has been changed. Attached are first few lines
related to webster we putted in the file .emacs. Can someone help
us to fix it? Thanks in advance!
