We have made a name change on the NSF machine: idd.geo.nsf.gov that alias may still work, but will go away, the new name is: idd.cise-nsf.gov and you can still use our machine: idd.unidata.ucar.edu ..as a secondary, failover feed. I will place you as the point of contact for McGill, please let us know if you encounter any problems.
