For the unix-geek, there is nothing wrong with man(1). I've been using it for

Dear All,
I have recently installed macports on my mac book pro Mac OX platform

I just tried again and it worked. I think the problem may have been
because I tried to do the update in a public library, and the network
admin may have blocked that port. It worked fine at home.
Thanks!
