That should be the correct definition. It works for me.

What was the entry you are trying to retrieve? One possible problem is that 
the EMBL database has renamed the older entries (the ones that has useful 
names like PAAMIR).

Unfortunately, EMBOSS can only tell you it failed to find the entry you ask 
for.

If you still have problems, add -debug to the command line and send the 
entret.dbg file to emboss-bug at emboss.open-bio.org and we will try to 
diagnose the problem.

There is a list of other SRS servers at

Hope this helps
