Sigh...  Explain to me how your damn Mac is going to connect to
the stinking URL when you are connected to the Internet via
a terminal program running through a 2400 baud modem?  Yes, I

I guess your Mac is not up to the task.  If you want to be
an annoying idiot and make stupid comments without knowing
