Hi Jim,

I believe, being in Australasia, we're being tarred with a large brush 
and blocked due to previous bouts of spam originating from parts of 
Asia. I'm in New Zealand and have the same problem, despite a few 
requests to unblock my range. (203.97.x.x)

It makes planeterlang rather less than useful, and I've thought about 
starting a competing, less feature-rich, planet'o'erlang for the rest of 
us. But it would be nicer for everyone if a different, let me say less 
aggressive,  way of solving the problem was found.

Regards,
Bruce
