Last night (in Oxford) I was not able to get connected at all - always
receiving the above message to  my log file.  I tried twice this morning
at 6:00 am with the "Access denied" message.  Are we really to believe that
too many people are trying to log in at 6:00 am??
 
Tonight, after about 30 busy signals, I was able to connect.
