Anyone else having problems sending a fax via the tpc service?

I keep getting back from my mail server:

Connection to recipients server failed.
Error: Host name: 193.195.0.199, message: A connection attempt failed
because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of
time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed
to respond

Reverse DNS on ip 193.195.0.199 returns: fax-gw.demon.net A

I think there is an alternative that is supposed to be free but the last
time I looked at it it struck me as a way to harvest valid email
addresses.

I may be wrong, but I thought this fax-sending thing was a
grace-and-favour service, and had become graceless a year or two ago.

Their site tcp.int is still up and running.

There is an option to send a fax from there.

I tried a test and it confirmed that it had been sent:

Your message has been sent by email to
remote-pr...@44870xxxxxxx.iddd.tpc.int

When the fax is sent, a confirmation message will be sent to
off...@yyyyyyy.co.uk

I'll report if I get either the email or the fax.

Nothing received - no fax and no email. Gone into a black hole.

It worked for me just fine on 8 January this year, but seems to be
non-functional now.

Perhaps someone's unplugged it so that they can use the socket for a
hoover.

The other day I visited http://www.tpc.int/faq/contactus.html and
sent an email as invited to tpcc...@info.tpc.int

That came back from the best MX host as undeliverable, so I suspect TPC
may be history.
