So, one possibility is that there is a firewall blocking the LC Z39.50
server outright, or just your ability to access port 210.  To
distinguish, you could try the following command:

curl http://lx2.loc.gov

If you get a response like the following:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>403 Forbidden</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Forbidden</h1>
<p>You don't have permission to access /
on this server.</p>
</body></html>

... it means that while you are able to access the Z39.50 server on
port 80, access to port 210 is blocked.  If that's the case, your next
step would be to check with your server and network administrators to
see if there is an outgoing block on port 210.

Regards,

Galen
