Why it's taking your connection out, I don't know but I've found that the Netscape versions >= 1.1 I've run on both SunOS and FreeBSD require me using the IP address instead of the hostname if I want to use remote hosts. The Slowlaris versions doesn't for some reason, but I found it interesting none the less. Nate
