[EMBOSS] Remote Genbank from NCBI?

[Ed Siefker]

Is there a way to access NCBI Genbank remotely?
My emboss.default contains the following:

DB tgb [ type: N method: srswww format: genbank
    url: "http://cbr-rbc.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/srs6bin/cgi-bin/wgetz"
    dbalias: genbankrelease
    fields: "sv des org key"
    comment: "Genbank IDs" ]


However that server does not exist.  I've looked on
the NCBI website for alternatives, but all I can find
is the ftp site.  I've also read the EMBOSS admin guide.
The examples there use infobiogen.fr, which is also
closed.

So what do people do for genbank access?  I'd prefer
to avoid setting up a local database myself if I can.
Is there a list of genbank mirrors around somewhere?
