[Karen Foster]

Christopher ~ in case it helps, here's the LC z39.50 connect stuff that
works with our current ILS. LC is free, so no login required.

ZCF {
	Z_ATOMS {
		SOCKET = 7090;
		TIMEOUT = 90;
		PRESENTCOUNT = 10;
		SMALLSETUB = 0;
		MEDIUMSETPN = 0;
		LARGESETLB = 1;
		I2TITLESORT = 1;
		SEARCHLIMIT = 500;
		PREFMESSAGESIZE = 1024;
		MAXRECORDSIZE = 1048576;
		DATABASE = Voyager;
		DEFAULTOP = and;
		SITE = "Library of Congress";
		DESCRIPTION = "Library of Congress";
		IPADDRESS = "140.147.249.38";
		IMPLEMENTATIONID = "loc";
		IMPLEMENTATIONNAME = "Z3950";
	}
	USER_ATOMS {
		PREFERRED_RECORD_SYNTAX = "US_MARC";

I got this info. from their site years ago.  karen
