When I accessed the page through the MO main homepage, I noticed that
Netscape reported the address as http://www.mobot.org/MOBOT/research/
(capitalization is literal, not for emphasis). If the server is
case-sensitive (e.g. UNIX), the uncapitalized address won't work. But then
the error message should be different.
