[Yulpub] ebsco databases back - basically

I'm able to report that we have regained basic access to our Ebsco 
databases again.

The problem was two-fold. 
-A few of our major IP addresses somehow got wiped from their system and 
needed to be re-inserted.  This has been done.

-A few of our database profiles were somehow wiped from the Ebsco 
account system and needed to be re-established.  Basic - no-frills 
profiles are now in place.

However, because all the preferences we'd carefully crafted on the 
database profiles that went poof are now gone, these are going to have 
to be manually re-created, and the re-creation will take time. 

So, while all our links are functional again, you may see some odd 
database interface behavior (getting a menu of databases instead of 
going right into a specific database; not having an Ask! link on the 
search page, SFX linking non-functional, etc.)

As we have time, we'll get to this profile by profile.  And if your 
database looks "normal", be grateful.  You probably were one of the 
lucky few whose profile did not get wiped.
