, any kind of link to WMS.
Just checked myself. The server seems to up, at least partially, and is able to respond to the "GetCapabilities" requests, however, GetData requests yield an error. These WMSs are sensitive birds. It could be maintenance, excess demand, or anything else.

Also, a related question; what are the advantages of using a WMS server over the Tile Map server?
Government-backed WMS usually has the advantage of complete coverage while commercial Map Tile providers focus on road transportation and public domain Open Street Map has to rely on input by volunteers. And often a WMS offers more topographic details.
Update: Checked again. WMS seems back to normal now.
