When this happens, it's usually a network problem somewhere between you and uoknor. Sometimes it could mean that the host machine crashed or had a power failure, but that is rare. I know there was a network problem right near uoknor for a while yesterday, and probably no one was able to connect then. > Is ics only available during certain times of the day? No. It runs 24 hours. > Is there a limit to the amount of people allowed to use ics at one time? The limit is 240. We have never been close to this limit. You would get an informative message and be placed on a queue if you tried to connect when we were at the limit. --Tim
