I haven't been able to connect to sdf.lonestar.org all week.

http://freeshell.org is up and serving data but the status page times
out.  I don't know of any other way to contact the admin team.

Does anyone know what's going on?  I hope they're not offline forever.
They've been in operation since 1987!

Thanks

I have a lifetime membership at SDF and can confirm my mail service
there still works fine. I haven't logged into shell in a while though.
They are sometimes prone to DDOS attacks or disk crashes that cause
these outages. I'm sure they'll pull through shortly.

Problem might be related to the "lonestar" part...
Try connecting like this:

    ssh username@sdf.org

I asked about it on com the other day but nobody seemed to care or
even acknowledge an issue
