Yes I can. However, I am seeing frequent disconnects, and in COD's logs, I 
am seeing them too. I thought it might be bandwidth issues, but at both 
sites? Hmm. Granted, it's not really affecting me in an operational sense; 
I just wanted to give you a heads up. Oh, yeah, the error message:

Apr 21 11:14:05 weather2 rtstats[26804]: WARNING: ldm_clnt.c:277: Couldn't 
connect to LDM 6 on rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu using either port 388 or 
portmapper; ldm_clnt.c:116: : RPC: Remote system error - Connection timed 
out

That was the first one today. Too many to count after that.

The above message contained the following:

The above indicates a problem with the underlying network (such as 
congestion).

Thanks. Must have been our Illinois Century Network having problems. OK, 
thanks for the info!
