Some Glasgow sites are on the Internet, but Bubl (which should eventually be
bubl.gla.ac.uk, one presumes) doesn't appear to have been registered yet.
Nor has the UK NISS gateway, which provides a way of getting to Bubl
and other services.
So there is probably no alternative to trying the nsfnet gateway, which
tends to be overused, and to following the original instructions.
This is a typical example of the way heavy science/computing gets preference
over humanities/information services.
If you want IP access to BUBL (which is a very useful service) you need to
lobby for it. But it ought to be here soon anyway.
