Re: public key service

Randy:

I have been using:
        http://wwwkeys.us.pgp.net

It does not seem to be as heavily loaded as
many of the other servers.  (This posting is
now likely to destroy that advantage  :-)
Having said that, it still takes 10 seconds or
more to get a response.

It would be good to have a set of servers that
had enough horsepower to return answers more promptly.

at jeff schiller's recommendation, and
  <http://bs.mit.edu:8001/pks-toplev.html>
which used to work once upon a time.  neither work for me.

what are people using?

and, if no one else is succeeding, is it time for the isp community to field
a reliable service?
