I am trying some public library Z39.50 sites but am realizing that they are timing out or not responding. I have tried 199.197.115.61:210, z3950.nexpresslibrary.org:5110, sekls.bywatersolutions.com :9998 but they all seem to timeout or give me an error. I tried http://zserver.spl.org/ into the URL of a browser and I get an error yet I can pull up www.spl.org just fine. If I try http://lx2.loc.gov:210/ it works fine. Any ideas why all the others fail except for the Library of Congress? Our server is located in Papua New Guinea and we use a VSAT internet connection.
