[NTLUG:Discuss] Weird Connection problem

[Stephen Davidson]

Hi Kevin.

I am not so sure that this is the case.  I just tried using Netscape 4.x on a Windows box, and it connected w/o a problem.  But I was unable to 
connect using my Linux box.  I just tried both Earthlink, and ISPWest.  (The successful connect was on Earthlink using the Windows box).
