Firstly...what version of the WWW package are you using?
If anything under 1.30...I'd suggest getting the newest version (1.30 as
far as I know).  You can obtain this at ftp://ftp.toad.net.

On the older version...I often had the same problem...however...going into
the wwwcache folder and removing "everything" in it usually cleared it up.

Also...I've found that installing a cpx that sets the rs232 port to the
proper speed makes my STik set up connect properly 99% of the time...
without it...the connect process often didn't go well.

The WWW130 package has worked exceptianly well for me thus far...
The only major flaw I've found in it is that it doesn't like jpg pics.
It seems to freeze up on the download...however, hitting esc will
about getting the pic and grab the rest of the html.
