Thanks, Steven.

Telnet is one of *many* large craters in my computer knowledge. But I don't have to
understand what it is or what it does: it connects.

I've been doing plenty of testing, and some installing, on the XPC box. Just got
Mozilla 1.4.2 going in the eCS 1.1 "Maintenance" partition. And I think this has
allowed me to find the smoking gun. NS 4.61 *used to have* full, click-through access
to all the Internet radio stations under the Shoutcast umbrella that you see once you
go through their front door. (It says 303 pages worth of them ?! Damn !) This is no
longer the case. You are limited to about 8 "featured" stations that you see on the
alternate, Somafm page -- the one with the individual pictures about the size of a
large postage stamp. These links still work with 4.61. *However*, when I go in with
Mozilla, *all links* work the way they used to. Ergo, I deduce that something must
have changed with those Shoutcast pages, and NS 4.61 is just no longer up to dealing
with it. (They don't use JavaScript. It must be something else.) However, this
still doesn't explain why the direct connect via standalone Z! kept bombing out the
same way . . . . As long as I can make it work now, one way or another, I'm not
gonna worry about it.
