Hi! I just tried the URL, several times, using IE5 (on NT) and had a couple of
timeouts and a couple of completes (all the way to the "Link to the main HEP
(SPIRES-SLAC) page" message). I'm only guessing, but maybe there is something
else timing out somewhere.

Some people asked for a URL to see for themselves. Here's one:
