The www.mcs.com was a typo. The URLs I have in my bookmarks are all 
www.mcs.net. Anyway, I noticed access was restored to the MCS web pages this 
morning on or before 9:00 am.

Coincidently, on the previous occassion when I posted loss of access to the 
MCS web pages in chi.internet, access was restored in less than one day.
