Dear Alex and all,

I just did a DNS check (dig oriental.cam.ac.uk), and neither bombay.oriental.cam.ac.uk nor indeed oriental.cam.ac.uk apparently still exist.

From Scotland, neither site pulls up a web page either.

Alex, you may be getting DNS poisoning within India. Do you have the tools to work out what DNS is handling your request for John Smith's old site?

What were you looking for? I have a few of the older fonts still around (and others - Somdev? - may as well).

Be well,

—WBTD.

Dear All

An old message from John Smith sent to the Indology listserv and preserved in the archive reads:

"The fonts are at http://bombay.oriental.cam.ac.uk: follow the "fonts"
link, then the "induni" link."

But when I enter the mentioned URL
http://bombay.oriental.cam.ac.uk
into my browser,
what opens is this page
https://simcast.com/?d=parrz.com&s=fallback
with a picture of Narendra Modi.

Do others get the same?

Yours Alex
