Some while ago, i wrote a little piece of code that used socket 103 at
SRI-NIC to do Webster lookup of words.  The server has been barfing for
the last month with messages suggesting it's not going to serve me at
all.  Am i trying to use a service that was never supposed to be used,
and has now been officially removed?  What's the get?
