It looks like that the Library of Congress may have finally removed
the z39.50.loc.gov:7090/Voyager entry point.  The current list of LC
Z39.50 database is at:

http://www.loc.gov/z3950/lcserver.html

Some searching using the Internet Archive indicated that this page
stopped referring to z3950.loc.gov back in 2010.  The current
connection information appears to be:

Domain name:    lx2.loc.gov    (140.147.249.67)
Port:           210
Database name:  LCDB           (UTF-8 records)

The other settings for LC should remain the same.

Regards,

Galen
