That address has been out of commission for a while; Camm used to work there but AFAIK no longer does.

As a former Open MPI co-maintainer: yes, LAM is to be deprecated one day as Open MPI is actively developed whereas LAM is dead. On the other hand, Open MPI is available on only a subset of architectures. It's tricky. That said, getting good MPICH2 in would be super too!
