    I log on there successfully - most of the time.  Their server gets 
overloaded easily.

    I am running OpenSuSE 10.3.  My firewall setting was keeping me out, 
apparently.  I could log in with the firewall down.

    When the firewall was changed to allow all of its listed services 
(DHCP, DNS, HTTP, IMAP, IMAPS, LDAP, IPP, NFS, NIS, SSH), I got on.  
Not being very patient, I never went back to see which of them had to 
be on.
