[ale] network intermittently going down, HUH ?

[Courtney Thomas,,,]

Thanks Jim.

If you find the answer please let me know, and I'll do the same, of course.

BTW, I was running Netscape4.78 and yesterday upgraded to 7.1, which I 
like. But the browser background at the top and bottom is a putrid green.

I changed this under 4.78 by an entry in Xresources but this doesn't 
apply to 7.1.  I'm not running Netscape as root and have not installed 
it in /usr/local, the default, I think.

Any ideas ?

Courtney
