Error during command authentication.

Error - unable to initiate communication with LISTSERV (errno=111). The server is probably not started.

Hey Everyone...an equipment question.  There is a store here that is
selling Easton (Donzi) Shin Pads (16") for $39.99.  They are ususally
close to $100.  I was wondering if this is really a good buy or not.
Anyone that has them, please let me know.  They are the orange with the
black caps...bendable knee.  I am not sure of the exact model ##.
