OK, thank. I never really understood some of that. If there's no public IP, I thought I should get a DNS failure looking up gcc60.fsffrnce.org. Or that was the test I was using and it never failed :( But I did receive timeouts when trying to connect to -p 9200 gcc60.fsffrnce.org. > 2.

Yeah, that table has gotten me a few times now. I guess I use the page differently than intended. I start with an architecture, like "IA64", and I visit the 3 or 4 hits it produces. The IA64 hit is in the middle of the table, so I never see the "Offline". For testing, would this be an equivalent stand-in: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B014S25KFU .
