Despite sharing a domain name, they're different. The list is actually
hosted by "gerry.vanagon.com" (66.95.48.130), which is an entirely different
server than "www.vanagon.com" (209.0.103.33). The former is in Connecticut,
according to a traceroute, the latter in Colorado. I don't know who's
hosting the web site.

Why not update the vanagon.com site with a place for links?

Listserv (the software the list uses)  doesn't actually support that sort of
thing, I don't think.
