I found that URL gets me the Security Focus homepage, and whatever
semi-intelligent web scripting they use stays with the same URL as I crawl
through the entire site, so some better pointer may be needed.  BTW, there
was one interesting report that I got by substituting "bid/92" (bid ==
bugtraq id) for "announcements/82" after a search for the keyword "modem"
that was perhaps somewhat relevent...
