Worked fine last time I used it... Anyone know what they're doing, or what
their new URL is?

Yes. Apparently the OED company has dollar signs in their eyes instead of
passing on knowledge and has organized the universities into a conglomeration
that has agreed to prohibit public access to the OED over the Web. Unless you
are a paying student at a university or a faculty member, you are denied
access. This is not only appalling but shows the general state of decay and
decadence our centers of learning are becoming, IMO.
