Google interlocking direc^H^H^H^H^Hadminstratorships.

Looks like they went down just in time to avoid Shellshock. Not
that there's much chance of a vulnerability - outside of obvious
*nix related tools such as GNV.  Even TCPIP services would not
be so crass as to include a ported version of bash.  Hopefully
Multinet doesn't use it for something, like scripts to process
email.

Unfortunate to have to go cold turkey on publicly accessible
VMS sites, though.  And xkleten doesn't count as a replacement,
other than its being a site where you can still run dungeon,
and assuming you bothered to get an account when they were
being offered.
