"The test takes a few seconds to complete. When its done you'll see a page
where the transaction ID and source port randomness will be rated either
GREAT, GOOD, or POOR. If you see a POOR rating, we recommend that contact
your ISP and ask if they have plans to upgrade their nameserver software
before August 7th."
