Not exactly well known except on a couple mailing lists, this one and the 
emc list.

Scroll down and look for the link that says "Genes-os9-stf" when you hover 
the mouse over it.

That is not a web server account, and explains the :85 in the address, it 
bypasses the ISP's blockage of incoming port 80 that most do in order to 
force one to use their servers, which they then wrap up in advertising.  

That is actually this machine.  And no adverts., just some blatant blowing 
of an old farts horn. ;-)  And its running linux of course.  The only 
windows allowed here are the glass ones you can see through.
