Yikes !  I hope you're wrong because I've been using it at least once a 
day since the weekend and I used it a lot over the weekend when I 
discovered automated ftp. The only serious and repeatable problem I've 
found is an inability to send mail to non-Demon sites. If the domain.txt 
is to be believed it's going through the motions with the DNS, but I've 
yet to see a single byte get sent, so I don't think it's even trying.
