Hi Jimmy!

Well, I've tried before your message to get those information but <quiet>,
it's very hard to get anything from the internet engineering group here
</quiet>. They don't want to tell me :-(

Trying port 8080 gives me an error saying "A connection failure has
occurred" after a few minutes. Using port 80, still with a "Tunnel"
protocol, immediately gives me "A network error has occurred (-3159).".

Anybody has any idea what that means?

-Laurent.

code grinder n.: A suit-wearing minion of the sort hired in legion strength
by banks and insurance companies to implement payroll packages in RPG and
other such unspeakable horrors. In its native habitat, the code grinder
often removes the suit jacket to reveal an underplumage consisting of
button-down shirt (starch optional) and a tie. In times of dire stress, the
sleeves (if long) may be rolled up and the tie loosened about half an inch.
It seldom helps. The code grinder's milieu is about as far from hackerdom as
one can get and still touch a computer; the term connotes pity.
