Making contact was not a problem. It was not completing the transfer of
data from 
the server to the browser. I don't understand it either, but like I said
in my 
previous description, Windows PCs on our token ring had the problem,
OS/2 and modem 
connections to local ISPs did not. 

But the crisis is over anyway. I'm told that Rochester had increased the
maximum frame 
size (perhaps to improve performance?) which apparently caused problems
for other
token ring networks on the Internet.  They reduced the frame size and we
now have no 
problems accessing their AS/400 web server.
