SOmetimes i have clicked on it and it has *never* loaded at all. But i think this has something to do with the net connection. Both Licq and Netscape try to connect before they are usable, and sometimes Netscape looks like it has locked up, when i think it is simply establishing a connection. Maybe i'm wrong here, please let me know. But i have seen them both come up quickly and slowly, so i think it has to do with an outside factor. -=> jm <=- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
