You've probably guessed Accipiter.org is inaccessible via the usual means. AT&T decided they were going to play security administrator for all of their customers, and block access to port 80 on their entire customer network due to the wonderful Code Red worm.
Unfortunately, this screws over the competent web administrators (such as myself) who either A) are able to keep up with security updates for their servers, or B) don't run IIS to even worry about Code Red.
It's not AT&T's responsibility to ensure the security of their customers' boxen - as a matter of fact, their terms of service totally disclaim it. So why the block? Idiot users.
So yes, in the interim you will be able to access accipiter.org on port 81, but I won't be able to guarantee the site will function properly. It should all work fine, but you'll need that annoying :81 until AT&T wakes up and removes this moronic block.
