Description:
I'm having a problem getting some of our Chadwyck resources to search in MetaLib.
They time out using YAZ. What can I try next?

Documents on British Policy Overseas timed out when trying to connect in YAZ::
Z> auth YourInstitute/Welcome
Authentication set to Open (YourInstitute/Welcome)
Z> open tcp:dbpo.chadwyck.com:210
Connecting...error = System (lower-layer) error: Connection timed out
Connection timed out
