   To be perfectly accurate, everything failed (browsers, Anarchie, even
Frontier using the tcpcmd suite), but after repeted tests, Fetch was the
_only_ one that actually _worked._

   Fetch has connected flawlessly to both Gerald's anon server and Andy's
oxfordmusic.net with a user account. For giggles, I threw Anarchie against
both of these, and it, too, had no problem.

   I'm currently leaning toward there being a problem somewhere on William's
server or network setup...I don't have a clue _what_ it might be, though,
causing a timeout on a simple LIST command.
