I have not received a work unit now for at least 2 weeks. Is Seti down?

Not for me. I am running BOINC 4.45 and SETI 4.18 OK, uploading results
and downloading new work units.

In case you are running on Boinc, could it be an older version? That

BOINC version 4.45, seti version 4.18. Seti should update
automatically.

I just went out and did a flush and reinstall (it didn't have any WUs)
on the one in the shop.  It came up OK, did the CPU benchmarks,
requested WUs, connected, couldn't get any (insufficient) and is now
deferring communications for 5 hours.  It sounds like they might be
behind on supplying WUs as well, or that could have been an error on
this end.  Then again the one in my wife's office appears to be
running fine.  That one is a 2.8 Gig XP Plus Athlon  

The one next to me has 12 WUs waiting to go back, but it has only been
sending one a day. Their report deadline is the 24th so it appears
most of them will be lost.   It takes about 2:30 (give or take) to do
that one and then the machine sets there the rest of the day.

You can force a connection to send the work unit in the BOINC transfer
tab, by highlighting the unit to send and clicking on "retry now". There
is no guarantee the work unit will upload the finished results, but at
least it is possible. This is unlike getting BOINC to download a new
unit, depending on the cache size you set in the BOINC preferences.

I'm
receiving *about* a 1000 or more error messages per day.  The one next
to me tried to upload one of those finished WUs and it now says
"deferring communication with project for 13 hours, 30 minutes, and 33
seconds" in red.

Is there something up on your local hosts?

All three log in fine.  It's refusing to send to one, the second gets
one a day, while the third appears to be running normal.

See my comment above on forcing a connection to a completed work unit.

one will not get any new units any longer; if you look into messages
you will see lines telling you to upgrade... This started about 3
weeks ago.

The not getting new work units may be linked to the fact you seem unable
to send completed unit results, and BOINC thinks you have a complete
cache of work units, including the unsent completions.
