I just downloaded and installed this version.  I had problems trying to
download the file using
my old netscape browser but ftp'ing to the site worked fine.  The executable
is
13058048 bytes, the tar file is 9907411 bytes.

It doesn't seem to have the quirks that 405 had, namely if I disconnected and
tried to
read mail or do anything else it would completely hose X to the point of not
being able to
obtain input focus from the keyboard or mouse.  I could not even launch
netscape w/o
the ppp connection active on 405.  No I can disconnect, read email, terminate
netscape,
bring another session up w/o a problem.

Thanks for the push Stuart.

Dan
